Renew your DBA before it lapses

A trade name is not registered once and forever. Most states expire them on a five or ten year cycle, and an expired one stops protecting the name you are trading under.

What happens once you pay

  • Filed with your 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 your state within one business day
  • We check your renewal window before filing, not after
  • State fee itemised separately and passed through at cost

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.

How it works

  1. Tell us about your business

    Your exact total is on this page before you type anything, and nothing is charged until the last step.

  2. We prepare and file it

    A specialist reads every order and files it within one business day. If something looks wrong, we email you before filing, not after.

  3. You get your documents

    Confirmation, your stamped documents, and what to do next, in your inbox and your account as the filing moves.

Common questions

Your state's business search usually shows the registration and expiry date. Send us the name and we will look it up.

The name goes back into circulation. In most states you can re-register if nobody has taken it, but you will have lost the original date, and if someone else has it you may have to rebrand.

No. A DBA registers the name for use, it does not grant exclusive rights, and it never reaches beyond the state. Trademarks are the tool for that, and we file state-level ones for $50.

Other filings we handle

Comparing us with someone else?

Good. We keep dated comparisons against the four biggest services, with every figure linked to the page we read it on and an honest note about where each of them beats us.
