An assumed name is different from your personal name, if doing business as a sole proprietor or different from your legal name if you are a Corporation, LLC, Partnership or Trust. The New York Assumed Name Act requires any person, which, by definition, includes an individual, as well as a Corporation, LLC, Partnership or Trust, to register their “assumed name” with the State of Florida prior to conducting business in Florida.

New York Assumed Name Registration
If you are planning to start your own business, especially if you are interested in a sole proprietorship, you may want Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. to handle your Assumed Name Registration. Registering a Assumed name is valuable for corporations. The corporation may always use its name. If, however, the corporation wishes to use any name other than its name, it must file a Assumed name. One advantage of registering a Assumed name is that you can obtain a Federal Identification Number for the Assumed name to enable you to open a bank account for the business under that name.
