What is the difference between Registering an AZ DBA Name
and Reserving an AZ Company Name?
explain
Registering a DBA Name with the Arizona Corporation Commission and Reserving a Company Name with the Arizona Corporation Commission
are NOT the same.
You Register a DBA Name with the Arizona Corporation Commission for an existing Arizona business.
You Reserve a Company Name with the Arizona Corporation Commission for use with an Arizona business that will be formed and legally registered
with the AZ Corporation Commission sometime in the future.
Registering a DBA Name with the Arizona Corporation Commission is NOT the same as legally Registering a Corporation or LLC with the
Arizona Corporation Commission.
When you legally Register a Corporation or LLC with the Arizona Corporation Commission there are certain tax and administrative obligations
which must be met to keep the company in Good Standing.
Failing to keep up with those obligations can result in the administrative dissolution of your
Arizona company by the Arizona Corporation Commission.
The Arizona state fees for Registering a DBA Name are less than the fees for Registering a Corporation or LLC and there
are no tax or reporting obligation for a Registered Arizona DBA Name.

we can get you an
Arizona Good Standing Certificate
as quickly as possible.
