WHEN IS A REGISTRATION NECESSARY
DBA registration is necessary if your company conducts any business and/or collects money under a name other than your own name. "Conducting business" can include marketing, advertising, letterhead, business cards, etc., in addition to actual business transactions. Also, banks generally require a DBA registration in order to open a business bank account
Just as important is your ability to open a bank account with your business name. However, over 70% of people make mistakes while trying to file legal documents, so doing a DBA without help can be challenging.
