Crazy that these things still need to be published in a newspaper. Holy Cow! Do those things even exist anymore?

You're welcome!

Your content is priceless! If I have a virtual mailbox for my online business address, and I register an FBN in California, should I file my home address as the business address for LA county?.. or the virtual address?

I mailed my DBA application recently to the DBA store but realized afterwards that I forgot to sign on the first page of the form. Will they send it back to me?

Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much! I was so confused about how to file a dba and all the services from LegalZoom just looked so sketchy and tried to charge us so much.

Thanks so much for this and teaching us how to do a close read on the legitimacy of businesses! 💚 If anyone has recommendations on which services to use for dba for sole proprietor in NYC please let me know :)

Thanks for the amazing vids btw! If I file a DBA for my business do I need to change any legal forums with the name, like bank account, state, federal/ein, and anything else? I already have a business albeit it hasn’t really started yet, but I wanna switch rhe name but also not really, just want to go by another name, are their places I have to refile or add that I made DBA etc. thanks!

So if you have a DBA then the legal name of the business (your name, if a sole prop) is on the EIN and bank account etc., which is the same. But you may want to update the bank and any merchant accounts with the new DBA so there's no confusion

Thank you so much for your information. Can I issue 1099NEC to myself as the owner of my sole proprietorship. Thank you so much.

You don't do a 1099 for your own sole prop biz

This is so much great info! If I have an LLC and I use the name on a business but I want to use a DBA for different business. can I use the same bank account with the LLC name?

@ElizabethPW

You can use the same LLC bank account but it would be up to the bank if they allow a DBA name to be added (as a second name) on the LLC account -- this matters mostly if people write you checks and such

I'm still alil confused..if we file through the DBAstore website do we not have to worry about filing through the LA county website? Or is it two different types of filing that is needed

Because of how LA county does it, DBAstore has you go to that site to fill out the form, but DBAstore will file it for you. LA county kind of makes it very complicated. You could instead go down to the county and do the filing, and then just hire dbastore to do the publishing.

Hey Elizabeth, I noticed that on DBA Store, it asks to “enter principal place of business in California (PO Box or PMB address NOT acceptable)” would a pmb be the same as a virtual business address? Thought I would ask because I would not want to submit and get denied because of this

Right PMB includes virtual business addresses

@@ElizabethPW Thank you for the response. So when filling out that section, would you need to put your home address then? My main worry is having my home address public if it is listed on the FBN

If I have two last names but only use one of them for my Etsy business that includes my first name, do I still need to file for a FBN in California?

@ElizabethPW

It has to have your last name, otherwise you need an FBN

Moral of the story, use legal zoom. 😂 My question is, if I apply for a DBA or a FBN and do not want to use my personal address. Do I get a registered agent before?

I'd recommend dbastore.com/ in California at least. No, registered agents don't have anything to do with DBAs or FBNs.
