DBA Registration Florida

All you Need to Know

If you want to run your business under a name different from your legal company name, you need to apply for a DBA Registration (Doing Business As). In Florida, this is also called a “Fictitious Name Registration.” It allows sole proprietors, partnerships, LLCs, or corporations to legally use another name for business operations.

Through dba online registration, you can quickly reserve your business trade name with the Florida Department of State. This process ensures that your chosen business name is recorded and recognized legally, which helps in branding, opening bank accounts, and building trust with clients.
