| Hi all,
I just started my tax practice in PA, majority individuals. I do have someone who wants to open a business account but he needs a certificate of authority or DBA to submit along with his EIN number. Since he is a sole proprietor, he needs to get a DBA for his business in the state of NJ. My questions is, what is the best way to apply for a DBA? online? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! | |

| Usually unincorp businesses get a dba from the county. Check with the county clerk. | |

| Yep, and they usually require publishing in newspaper. He might try a smaller bank, not every one requires it, but if he wants to deposit checks with a biz name, he'll probably have to. | |

| Thanks for the response!
He has a credit card machine and wants to use a large bank. The bank requires he has a DBA. How about these online small biz setup sites? Are they reliable? | |
