Filing a Florida DBA
Regardless of your entity type (sole proprietorship, unincorporated
partnership, LLC, corporation—anything), when you file your DBA—short for "doing
business as"—you’ll do so at the state level. Florida does not have individual
county filings for DBA filings. A DBA may also be known as a fictitious name, fictitious
business name, or FBN; an assumed name or assumed business name; or a trade name.
How to File a DBA
Your Florida Fictitious Name is subject to name availability. To determine whether
your name is available, have Click and Inc perform a
DBA name search.
The information below is required:
- Your Fictitious Name
- Purpose
- Location—this must be a physical address.
- Owner—this will be an individual, partners, or a business entity.
- Signature—this will be the owner, if an individual, or a representative of the business,
if an incorporated entity.
ClickAndInc.com can set up your Florida DBA
quickly, easily, and affordably—just give us the information we require to properly
draft your forms, and all you have to do is sign!
Additional Information about a Florida DBA
In Florida, it is required that you publish notice of your DBA filing in a newspaper
of general circulation. When you file your DBA with Click Industries, you’ll be
given the option to publish notice of your filing yourself—or, you could have us
take care of the publication for you.
