Get to Know the Basics of Doing Business As (DBA)
What Is a DBA?
Doing Business As, or DBA is a legal term. The main reason to file a DBA is to operate a business or segment of a business under a name that’s different from the legal name of the individual, partnership, or corporation. \n \n Some states call it a trade name, fictitious business name, or assumed name.
Do You Need a DBA?
Answer these quick questions to find out.
Why File a DBA?
If you have a registered business but want to sell products or services under a different name, a DBA might be right for you. It gives your business an official name without needing a new business entity. You may also file a DBA to expand geographically.
Is a DBA the Same as an LLC?
No, a DBA isn’t a registered business. It doesn’t carry any of the liability protections an LLC does. If you’re starting a brand-new business, you’ll seriously want to consider an LLC.
Who Needs a DBA?
If you’re conducting business under your own name, known as a sole proprietorship, you’ll probably want to file for a DBA. If you don’t, your legal personal name is your business name.
How Does a DBA Affect Your Taxes?
A DBA doesn’t affect how the IRS views your tax responsibility. You don’t receive the tax benefits you’d receive if you were an LLC or a corporation.
