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

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