Hi!

I have a check that a client wrote me and it is made in my name and dba my business name.

I need to open up a business account but I need to register the trade name. 2 questions.

1. Do I need to have my business name registered in the same state that I reside in?

2. Do you know of any states that I can register in online and get instant proof of registration?

Thanks

I would suggest calling up your local township. Get in touch with someone there from the Clerk's Office. I did that and was told I needed to fill out paperwork to get my name registered. I didn't go that route in the end since my name would only be registered for my state and I wanted national registration which you get with an LLC.

I registered online for my LLC. I saved money doing it that way rather than having an attorney do it. it's easy to do.

You can also try Googling your state to get the correct website address and then you would be able to get the information plus more that you need. Did that help?

DBA is different then getting a business license?
