If your business operates, advertises, invoices, or accepts payments under a name different from its legal name, you may need to register a DBA (Doing Business As), also called an assumed, fictitious, or trade name. DBA requirements vary by state and locality, and a DBA does not create a separate legal entity or change your existing business structure. Swyft Filings offers a DBA filing service that helps determine the appropriate state or county filing office, reviews the application, and submits the required paperwork on the business owner's behalf.

Under Swyft Filings' DBA service, customers provide the proposed DBA name, jurisdiction, business category, and a brief description. The filing is then reviewed and submitted to the appropriate state or county office. Once approved, the DBA certificate or registration can be accessed through the customer account, subject to the procedures of the filing jurisdiction.
