QUESTION
Structuring a Business Name that is not a fictitious business name
Asked on Feb 05th, 2018 on Business Law - California
More details to this question:
In California, if my surname is part of my business name, and it is owned and operated by me, I do not need to file a fictitious business name with the county clerk. My question is, does my surname have to be a separate word in my business name? example: My surname is Smith, if my business name is The Mediasmith, would this be ok to not file fictitious name? or does my surname have to be a separate word i.e The Media Smith ?

If used in conjuction with other words, you need to file a DBA.
There are other benefits, such as public notice of your rights.
Trademarking your goods and/or services is another option foryou to consider.
