DBA Fictitious Business Name Registration

Choosing a business name to trade is part of the startup process of growing businesses. While it isn’t necessary to register and choose a name immediately some may choose to file a Doing-Business-As (DBA) to:

• Legally trade under a business name different from the owner’s or registered business’s
• Declare legitimacy and trust
• Protect a desired future trading name

Corporation / Incorporating Your Business

A corporation is an artificial legal entity that exists separate from its owners. Incorporating your business can provide owners greater personal liability and asset protection from corporate debt and obligations as incorporation separates your business from your personal assets. Some additional benefits of incorporating your business include:

• Tax savings
• Lower risk of audit
• Deduction of medical expenses
• Income splitting

Incorporating your business can be a confusing process. If you are considering incorporating your business, it is best to seek the advice of a professional. An expert will be able to answer all of your questions and help you make a decision that is best for your business.
