Using your DBA
The most significant use of a DBA is the ability for a sole proprietorship to open a business bank account and collect money using a name other than its legal name.
In many cases, more than one business can operate under the same DBA, and therefore, there is no protection or exclusivity offered by operating solely under a “doing business as” name. When registering your DBA, you may also find that there is a corporation, LLC, sole proprietorship, or other business entity using the same or a similar business name.
