What is the difference between an FBN and a DBA? It is the same thing. A fictitious business name is just another name for doing business as.
Where do I get a fictitious business name? Please come by the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder's Office at 110 W. Tasman Drive, San Jose. The phone number is 408-299-5688.
Use the California Business Entities Search tool to see if your new name is available, or contact the Secretary of State's office by phone at (916) 653-7244.
A database administrator, or DBA, is responsible for maintaining, securing, and operating databases and also ensures that data is correctly stored and retrieved.
A major disadvantage with a DBA is that a DBA does not provide any liability protection or a barrier to your personal assets (and vice versa).
Alphabetize single letters in business names separately, ignoring any punctuation that may appear between them. A company named "J & J Consulting" should be filed before one named "JM Auto Body." Use the last name to alphabetize businesses that include an individual's name.
A DBA (doing business as) or fictitious business name (FBN) statement allows sole proprietorships, partnerships, and LLCs to run under a name different from their registered name.
A Fictitious Business Name (FBN) Statement is a public record intended to make available to the public the identities of persons doing business under the FBN.
If you want to trademark your business, brand or product name, file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office once you've formed your business. If your business is an LLC, C-corp, partnership or nonprofit, you'll need to register with the secretary of state's office, a business bureau or a business agency.
Generally, follow an organization's convention for capitalization, punctuation and abbreviation of the organization's suffix — Company, Corporation, Incorporated, Limited. Do not use a comma before the suffix, even if one is included in the formal name.
