Information in Obtaining a Fictitious Business Name:

Doing business under a fictitious business name requires that you do the following: File a Fictitious Business Name within forty-five days of starting your business. Publish fictitious business name in a  newspaper for four weeks.  Corporations & owners doing business under their own name are not required to file a fictitious business name statement. On the other hand, If you plan to use your own name as part of the business name, you cannot use something like “& associates”. If you do, you must file a fictitious business name statement.

      For example, "John Smith’s Rob ‘em & Cheat ‘em Service" is not  required to file a fictitious business name.  However, "Smith & Associates”  is required to file a fictitious business name.  Note: A Fictitious Business Name with "corp." or "Inc" suffix is not allowed unless you want to file a dba for a corporation with the same name.  If you are filing fictitious business name and the registrant is a corporation, include a copy of the articles of organization or incorporation and have a Corporate Officer sign the fictitious business name statement form.
