A Trade Name is a registered business name which is different from the name of the person or company doing business. A person or company may legally conduct business using the different name after a Trade Name is registered..

If you are a Sole Proprietor and want to do business under a name which is different from your legal name then you have to Register a Trade Name with the states or counties in which you want to conduct business operations under that name.

If you are a Corporation or LLC and want to do business under a name which is different from the name which is registerd with the Secretary of State then you have to Register a Trade Name with the Secretary of State or with the counties in which you want to conduct business under that name.

Requirements to register with the state and/or county vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We can Register a Trade Name in any state or county for you as quickly as possible.
