Register a business name online, whether it's a Sole Proprietorship, Trade Name, or Partnership. A Sole Proprietorship lets you run your business independently, while a Trade Name offers flexibility in branding. A Partnership allows you to share responsibilities and profits with others. We simplify the registration process for you.
Sole Proprietorship: A Sole Proprietorship is the simplest form of business structure, where a single individual owns and operates the business. The owner has full control over decision-making, profits, and liabilities. This structure is ideal for individuals who want to run a small business independently, without forming a separate legal entity. However, the owner is personally liable for any debts or legal actions against the business.
Trade Name: A Trade Name, also known as a "doing business as" (DBA) name, is a name that a business uses for its operations that differs from its official legal name. This allows the business to brand itself with a more marketable or recognizable name while maintaining the same legal entity behind it. A Trade Name must be registered with the government in most jurisdictions to ensure no other business is using the same name.
Partnership: A Partnership is a business structure where two or more individuals or entities share ownership and management of the business. Partners contribute capital, expertise, or other resources, and share in the profits, losses, and liabilities. Partnerships can take several forms:
General Partnership (GP): All partners share equal responsibility for managing the business and are personally liable for its debts and obligations.
Limited Partnership (LP): In this structure, there are both general partners (who manage the business and are fully liable) and limited partners (who invest capital but are only liable for the business’s debts up to the amount of their investment).
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): An LLP protects each partner from personal liability for the actions of other partners, providing limited liability while allowing partners to actively manage the business. This structure is commonly used by professional groups like lawyers, accountants, and architects.
