A fictitious 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 Nevada Fictitious Name Act requires any person, which, by definition, includes an individual, as well as a Corporation, LLC, Partnership or Trust, to register their “fictitious name” with the State of Florida prior to conducting business in Florida.

Nevada Fictitious 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 Fictitious Name Registration. Registering a fictitious 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 fictitious name. One advantage of registering a fictitious name is that you can obtain a Federal Identification Number for the fictitious name to enable you to open a bank account for the business under that name.
