What is DBA registration?

DBA is an acronym that stands for "doing business as." DBA registration is a way to give your business a name that's different from your name or the registered name of your business. For example, if the registered name of your business is too long, you might want to apply for a DBA name that’s shorter and catchier to conduct business and build your brand.
