A DBA, or 'Doing Business As' name, allows you to operate your business under a name different from your legal name. This is common for sole proprietors or businesses that want to use a trade name without forming a new legal entity like an LLC or corporation. For example, if your legal name is Jane Doe and you want to operate your bakery as 'Sweet Delights,' you'll need to file for a DBA for 'Sweet Delights.' Getting a DBA is a straightforward process, but the specific requirements vary by state, county, or even city. It generally involves filing a form with a local or state government agency and paying a fee. Lovie can help simplify this process, guiding you through the necessary steps to secure your DBA and ensure compliance.
