(also sometimes referred to as a dba, which stands for “doing
business as”) just as an individual can. For example, your corporation
name might be XYZ Landscaping, Inc., but you want a division of
your company to do business as Backyard Ponds. You can do this if
you file an assumed business name form showing XYZ Landscaping
as the registered owner of Backyard Ponds. Each state has its own
procedure for filing an assumed business name, but it is usually done
by filing a form with the Corporate Filing Office.
