FAQ
What is a DBA (Trade Name / Fictitious Business Name)?
A DBA ("Doing Business As")—also known as a Trade Name, Fictitious Business Name, or Assumed Name—is an officially registered secondary name that allows an existing parent LLC or Corporation to legally operate, market services, enter into contracts, and process payments under a different brand
Does registering a DBA create a new separate legal entity?
No. A DBA is simply an operational trade alias assigned to your current entity. It does not establish a separate legal corporate structure, split your tax filings, or require a separate EIN. All legal liabilities, assets, and federal tax filings remain under your primary parent company.
Can I open a business bank account and process Stripe payments under my DBA?
Yes! Once your DBA registration is officially approved and recorded by state or county authorities, you can submit your stamped DBA certificate to your bank (e.g., Chase,Mercury,Relay) & merchant gateways (Stripe,PayPal) to accept deposit, write checks, clear payments under your secondary brand name
Does registering a DBA give me exclusive national trademark protection?
No. A DBA registration fulfills local legal compliance and business identification requirements at the state or county level, but it does not grant federal trademark protection. To prevent competitors nationwide from using your brand name, you should couple your DBA filing with a federal USPTO
