Register your trade name

A DBA lets you operate under a name other than your legal one. We file state-level trade name registrations for $50 flat plus the state's fee. States that handle DBAs at the county level are quoted by hand instead.

What happens once you pay

  • Filed with the state within one business day
  • A specialist reads your order first. If anything looks wrong, we email you before filing, not after.
  • Rejected by the agency? We fix it and file again at no charge.
  • If we cannot get it filed at all, you get everything back, including the government fee.
  • Track it in your account with your email address. There is no password to invent.

State processing after that is the agency's queue, which runs from same day to a few weeks depending on where you are filing. We do not control it, so we do not promise a date for it.

Payment is handled by Stripe. Nothing is filed until payment clears, and government fees are refunded in full if we cannot file.

What you get

  • Filed with the state within one business day
  • State fee shown before you pay
  • County-level states get a hand quote instead of a broken promise

Filed in a day. One flat price. Nothing you didn't ask for.

  • Filed within one business day

    One tier, one speed, every order. There is no rush fee here because there is no slow lane to buy your way out of.

  • A specialist reads every filing

    Prepared and checked by someone who files these all day. If your name or address will not clear the state, you hear from us before it goes in.

  • Registered agent at $99, only if you want one

    The lowest published rate of the five services we compare, sitting beside a free option to name yourself. Most people never need to buy it.

  • One price, and nothing starts on its own

    $100 to form, $50 flat for every filing after. The only thing that can renew is a registered agent you chose, at the price you chose it for. No tiers, no trial that turns into a charge.

Common questions

Some states register trade names at the county or city level, each with its own fee and process. Rather than guess, we quote those by hand; email support@fastbusinessfiling.com.

It registers it; it is not trademark protection. Trademarks are a separate federal filing.

Other filings we handle

Comparing us with someone else?
