Okay, very simple.Do a business name search at the California Secretary of State website to see if your desired business name is available.Do a business name search at http://www.ustpo.gov to make sure you are not violating any copyrights for the desired business name.Business Type:Sole Proprietorship - Risks you are personally liable for anything and everything that happens in your business.LLC - must register business with the CA Secretary of State. Go to their website, find LLC, and get directions on how to register. You will need to file Articles of Association (use their form-it is online). As an LLC, you as an individual has limited liability in case of a lawsuit, therefore the LLC is legally liable, not you.

You can do this online with a social security number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).Where you are located register;with the County Clerk’s office the “Fictitious Business Name (FBN).”You will have to post the FBN in a newspaper for 4 weeks, (find the cheapest rate-the County Clerk’s Office will give you a least of approved newspapers).Get a city Business License.

A2ABased on the linked question, I assume that the fictitious business name pertains to an individual, rather than a legal entity.And while the question literally asks how to “cash” checks (which means how to exchange checks for cash), I will assume that actual question (which is easier to accomplish and more appropriate for a business) is how to deposit checks made out to one’s FBN into one’s bank account.To start, one should establish a separate bank account for the business, irrespective of use of an FBN. The FBN would be part of the account name, thus depositing checks made out to the FBN would be trivial.But let’s assume that there is no separate business account, thus the OP needs to deposit the check to his or her personal account.Before providing a direct answer, I will offer the following insight: 99+% of the time, banks don’t look at the payee’s endorsement, much less validate it in any way. This means you may endorse the check any way you wish. Heck, I once (accidentally) successfully deposited a check without endorsing it at all!So, if I were depositing to my personal account a check made out to my FBN, here is how I would endorse it:I would sign my name (my signature, at this stage of my life, consisting of little more than a few ellipse-like curves).Below the signature, I would print something along the line of “Dana H. Shultz, dba Fictitious Business Name”.

Somewhere on that form should be a blank for routing number and account number. Those are available from your check and/or your bank statements. If you can't find them, call the bank and ask or go by their office for help with the form.  As long as those numbers are entered correctly, any error you make in spelling, location or naming should not influence the eventual deposit into your proper account.

Short answer: Yes, if the name of the partnership is anything other than one including the surname of each general partner, or one that has  names in addition to those surnames.Longer answer: The relevant statute is Corporations Code Section 17900(b)(2) (CA Codes (bpc:17900-17930)), which states (deleting text pertaining to limited partnerships) -(b) As used in this chapter, "fictitious business name" means:...(2) In the case of a partnership or other association of persons...a name that does not include the surname of each general partner or a name that suggests the existence of additional owners, as described in subdivision (c) and in Section 17901.

Yes you can. Should you? Perhaps, but remember that the 1099 is what the IRS is going to receive. There could be differences.You may receive a 1099 which is missing basis information. You will indicate that, and use your records to fill in the missing information.My suggestion is to use the 1099, cross-referencing to your statements.
