DBA is an abbreviation for "doing business as." If you're a sole proprietorship, you need a DBA to register your business name. Corporations and LLCs need a DBA if they use a different name than what's filed with the state.
With a LegalZoom DBA you can:
- Legally conduct business and gain valuable rights
- Open a bank account under the business name
