- [Narrator] A DBA, or Doing Business As, is essentially a nickname for your company. In Nevada, a DBA is also called a fictitious firm name. DBAs are a great way to rebrand your company name, to add new brands to your company, or to change your company name completely. For sole proprietors and partnerships, DBAs offer the ability to operate under a name that isn't the business owner's surname. For more information on the specifics of what a DBA is and how it can be used, check out our other video linked below. In this video, we will go over the steps you need to take in order to form a DBA in Nevada. (gentle music) There are two ways to form a DBA. You can do it yourself or you can hire a service to do it for you. Let's take a look at both options and help you decide how to go about forming your own DBA. One. Do it yourself. If you want to save money, you can form a DBA on your own. Let's take a look at the steps to forming a DBA in Nevada on your own. One. Complete name searches. When determining what you want your DBA name to be, you'll want to make sure you follow Nevada naming requirements. For more details, check out our video, How to Name Your Business in Nevada, or our Naming Guides linked below. Next, you'll want to make sure the name is available in Nevada. The first and most important search is with Nevada's online database of business names. If the name is not available, you'll have to adjust your name or use a different one. We provide instructions to search your business name in Nevada on howtostartanllc.com, linked below. Searching is free. To learn more, visit Nevada Naming Guides linked in the description below. After confirming your name is available in Nevada, we recommend doing a domain search to see if your name is available as a URL. Even if you don't plan on making a website today, we recommend buying your domain in order to prevent others from acquiring it. Two. Register your DBA. After you've chosen an available name, you'll want to register your DBA. For all business structures in Nevada, registration is done through the county where you are doing business. DBA filing guidelines and fees can vary by county. Contact your county clerk for the specific steps to file. You can find your county's contact information linked below. And with that, you'll have a DBA in Nevada. Keep in mind that your Nevada DBA needs to be renewed every five years. This process varies from county to county. Option two. The second way to form a DBA is to hire a professional service to create your DBA for you. Hiring a professional service to file your forms and do name searches will cost you an additional $50 to $150, however, there are several benefits to working with a pro. A hired professional files your DBA for you, keeps you up-to-date with renewals, and assists with publications. DBAs, or Doing Business As, are also known as trade names, assumed names, or fictitious names of a business. Informal business structures like sole proprietorships and partnerships can use DBAs as their business name instead of their surnames. Formal business structures like LLCs and corporations can use DBAs as a means to rebrand their name, add new brands, or change the name they are using as their business name. DBAs are not a business structure and are not separate legal entities. They also do not provide asset protection or liability protection to informal business structures.
