WHY FILE AN ASSUMED NAME APPLICATION?

If you are a sole proprietor and you want a more "business-like" name, you may want to file an assumed name application. For example, if Joe Smith is a sole proprietor doing business as a plumber, he may want to give his business a name that identifies the nature of the services he provides. So, if he files an assumed name application, he could then have a business name and display it two ways:

  • Joe Smith dba Plumbing Professionals (would likely use this on checks) OR
  • Plumbing Professionals (once you file the assumed name application you can use the chosen assumed name by itself).
