What is a Doing Business As (DBA) in Louisiana?
A Doing Business As (DBA) filing is an official and public way to register a business name with the state of Louisiana. A DBA name is also called an assumed name, fictitious business name, or trade name. A DBA name is typically used when you want to use multiple names for one business, or if you are a sole proprietor wanting to be recognized as a name that is not your legal name.
Why is a DBA Name Important in Louisiana?
DBAs allow sole proprietorships and general partnerships to conduct business under a name other than the owner's or owners' personal name(s) in Louisiana. For C corporations, S corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited partnerships (LPs), limited liability partnerships (LLPs), and nonprofit corporations, filing a DBA allows them to transact business using a name other than the official company name that is included in the incorporation documents.
Benefits of Filing a DBA in Louisiana
Once the DBA filing is approved, the business can use the name as its official business name and:
- Open a business bank account
- Create stationery or business cards using the DBA name
- Develop advertisements and/or list the company in directories
- Undertake transactions on behalf of the company
Common Reasons for DBA Filing in Louisiana
There are a number of reasons why business owners choose to file a Doing Business As in Louisiana, and these reasons may vary by business type. Common reasons include:
