           Dacia's Artistic Solutions

                      Website Design & Complete Small Business Services

In order to start your new business there are some legal permits and licenses you will need to obtain. Starting your business out with a website design and hosting is an important aspect to getting your business off the ground, but you will also need certain County and State legal documents to make your small business legitimate.

Dacia's Artistic Solutions can make this process a painless and easy one for you. Whether you are just starting out, or need to make some business changes, we can take care of the paperwork for you.

The two most important documents that every business needs are a Business License and a DBA. If you are planning on hiring employees, then you will also need a FEIN. If you are planning on selling tangible items to the public, then you will also need a Sellers Permit.

The following links will answer all your questions for each of these important documents.

Fictitious Business Names(DBA)San Diego County Only

DBA stands for "Doing Business As" and is an official, public registration of a business name with either the state or local jurisdiction. DBAs are sometimes called "Ficitious Names", "Fictitious Business Names", "Assumed Names", and "Trade Names".

A fictitious business name, assumed name, or DBA (short for "doing business as"), referred to as "trading as", allows you to legally do business as a particular name at minimal cost, and without having to create an entirely new business entity. You can accept payments, advertise, and otherwise present yourself under that name.

Basically, a DBA is the operating name of a business - a name that is different from your own name or the actual legal or corporate name (filed with the Secretary of State when the business was created). If a business is operating under any name and conducting any business in a name that differs from your own name or your company's legal, registered name then you must register DBA name with your state, county, and/or local jurisdictions.

Without a DBA ("Doing Business As") or Fictitious name, your business is required to operate under your personal name or names of your partners.
