Posted by: | CommentsHow can the creation of a DBA (fictitious name) help me advance my e-commerce business?
DBAs (Doing Business As, or “Trading As”) are great for e-commerce companies because they make it possible to own several websites under one corporation. DBAs make it possible to operate a business under a name other than the corporate name filed with the state, or your personal name. If a corporation has several DBAs, banks will allow that corporation to accept checks made out to the different “trading as” names. DBAs help a company’s credibility because people like writing checks to a company name that sounds similar to the name of the website.

Additionally, operating different business each under its own DBA allows better tracking of the performance of each business. Read More→

People would grow frustrated and ask me if I would do the installation for them. I eventually got so many requests that I decided to start my own business. Read More→
