What is the difference between Registering a FL DBA Name
and Reserving a FL Company Name? |
Registering a DBA Name with the Florida Secretary of State and Reserving a Company Name with the Florida Secretary of State
are NOT the same.
You Register a DBA Name with the Florida Secretary of State for an existing Florida business.
You Reserve a Company Name with the Florida Secretary of State for use with a Florida business that will be formed and legally registered
with the FL Secretary of State sometime in the future.
Registering a DBA Name with the Florida Secretary of State is NOT the same as legally Registering a Corporation or LLC with the
Florida Secretary of State.
When you legally Register a Corporation or LLC with the Florida Secretary of State 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
Florida company by the Florida Secretary of State.
The Florida 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 Florida DBA Name.
