Professional DBA & Trade Name Registration Assistance for Businesses, Entrepreneurs & Growing Brands.
Your legal business name doesn't always have to be the name your customers see. A DBA—short for Doing Business As—may allow an eligible business to operate under a different business or trade name, subject to state and local requirements. At Creative Co., we help entrepreneurs and established businesses navigate applicable DBA registration procedures, prepare required information, and coordinate filings.
Whether you're launching a new brand, expanding your services, or creating a trade name for an existing company, we're here to help. DBA registration assistance is available across Mississippi — visit us in Jackson, MS or work with us online.
One Business. New Opportunities. A Name That Represents Your Brand.
A DBA is a business name used in commerce that differs from the business's legal name. Depending on state law and the business structure, registering a trade name may be required, optional, or handled through different filing offices.
For example, an LLC may operate under a separate brand name, or a sole proprietor may use a business name that differs from their personal legal name.
A DBA does not create a separate legal entity or automatically provide liability protection.
