What is a DBA (or “Doing Business As”)?
A DBA is a registered name that a business/individual uses to operate a business under a name that is not its legal name. Unlike LLCs and corporations which default to a company name, sole proprietors and general partnerships default to the business owner’s personal name.
In Maine, sole proprietors and partnerships register DBAs with the clerk’s office in the town they do business in.
