Fictitious Business Name 

A Fictitious Business Name is the name your business uses to do business as ( Doing Business As DBA).
For example, if your business name is "Equilibrium Yoga Studio," that name is a fictitious business name because
it does not exist and you fictitiously created it. 

You are required to register a fictitious business name, obtain a certificate, and file a certificate of publishing because in most cases
a filing has to be published for 4 weeks in a legal newspaper.   We can do all this for you here.

But wait!  Don't file a fictitious name, form an LLC or incorporate.  In both cases, your name will be registered and 
you will enjoy limited liability.

as well as tax you a flat tax ( about $0 to $100 per year that you need to pay in advance) and
also restrict you from excessive business activities such as business deliveries and business sings if you
operate out of your home. For a home business, you may need a home occupation and a business license
or one or the other only.

All businesses need a federal ID as well

A federal tax ID number is also called an EIN (Employer ID Number).
Even though it is called "Employer," ID, it is also an Business ID for individuals ( like
the social security number but for business) corporation, LLC, partnerships.

All businesses need this one including when getting a seller's permit in some states. Independent contractors
need it as well to provide their clients so they will be issued a 1099 form to report independent contractor income.

As a sole proprietor, you can use it to open bank accounts, and pay employment taxes. As a partneship, LLC or corporation, you definitely need
one because it is the business ID.
