A fictitious business name (FBN) is a name a business uses that is different from its legal name, also known as a "doing business as" (DBA) name. It's used by individuals, partnerships, and corporations to operate under a name that doesn't include the owner's last name or the legal name registered with the state. Filing an FBN makes the business's true legal owners publicly known, which is required by law for consumer protection and transparency.
