trade names

A trade name—also known as an assumed name, fictitious name, or doing-business-as (DBA or d/b/a) name—is a name a business uses for advertising and trade purposes—often because it is shorter, easier to remember, and more effective for marketing the business than the registered or legal name.

If you plan to use a different name for your business than the name you registered with your state (NewCo, LLC), you may need to file a fictitious name or d/b/a statement with the county in which your business is located.
