Check out the differences between...
Legal and Trade Names
AKA, DBA, and Assumed name
A legal business name refers to the name that a business is registered under with the government or other relevant legal authority. This name is typically used for legal and administrative purposes, such as filing taxes, obtaining licenses and permits, and registering for business-related accounts and services.
A trade business name, on the other hand, is a name that a business uses to conduct its day-to-day operations and to market its products or services to customers. This name may be different from the legal name, and may be chosen for branding or other marketing purposes.
For example, a business called "Smith & Sons Plumbing LLC" might choose to use a trade business name like "Smith's Plumbing" or "Smith & Sons Plumbing Services" when marketing to customers. However, the legal name that appears on official documents and contracts would still be "Smith & Sons Plumbing LLC."
AKA, DBA, and Assumed Name all refer to a situation where a business operates under a name that is different from its legal name. However, there are some differences between the three terms:
AKA stands for "also known as" and is a term that is commonly used to refer to an individual or organization that is known by more than one name. For example, a person named John Smith who also goes by "Jack" could be referred to as "John Smith AKA Jack." In the context of business, AKA might be used informally to refer to a business that operates under multiple names, but it does not have any legal significance.
DBA stands for "doing business as" and is a legal term that is used when a business operates under a name different from its legal name. For example, if a business is registered as "Smith & Sons Plumbing LLC", but operates under the name "Smith's Plumbing," it might file a DBA to let customers know that "Smith's Plumbing" is a trade name for "Smith & Sons Plumbing LLC." DBA registration is often required by state and local laws, and businesses may need to file a DBA registration in each jurisdiction where they do business under a different name.
Assumed Name is another term for a trade name or DBA, and is used when a business operates under a name that is different from its legal name. Like DBA, assumed name registration is often required by state and local laws, and businesses may need to file an assumed name registration in each jurisdiction where they do business under a different name.
In summary, AKA is a term used informally to refer to an individual or organization that is known by more than one name, while DBA and Assumed Name are legal terms used to describe a situation where a business operates under a name that is different from its legal name.
