In most states, sole proprietors and general partnerships are required to register a fictitious name if their
business name does not include the legal surnames of all owners. For instance, Sally Anderson would not need
to register a fictitious name for “Anderson’s Breads”, but would for ”Best Bread
Bakery“. This rule varies slightly by state and county.
LLCs, corporations, and other business entities do not need to register a fictitious name when starting up.
