DBA is an abbreviation for "doing business as." Registering a DBA is required if you plan to operate your business under a name that differs from your personal name or your company's name filed with the state.
Remember, with a DBA:
 Your startup costs are lower because it is a simpler and easier filing- Management and maintenance are simple because there are no formal requirements
- Income passes through to the owners
- You can open a bank account and legally conduct business under another name
LegalZoom can help you register your DBA in three simple steps.
