Texas Assumed Name
A business listed with the Secretary of State by default operates under one name, however often a business may have a need for operating under two or more names. An Assumed Name is synonymous with DBA, or a Doing Business As name, and is commonly identified by the latter.
An Assumed name allows a company to conduct business under different names. For example, a nail salon chain may be owned by one holding business, but each physical location is run under its own individual name.
Series LLCs also frequently use Assumed Names in order to store their subsidiaries under their parent LLC.
To file for an Assumed Name in Texas you will need a few things.
- The Assumed Name or Doing Business As name
- An address to provide to the state
- The counties to conduct business under the assumed name in. This can be as few as one county or as many as all counties
