Do you have to register "Doing Business As" if you run a web store or online business?


If you run a website (say www.mywebsite.com) where you collect money, do you have to register with the state? I live in California and was wondering if you hafe to register "Doing Business As" or incorporate? Thanks.

If you plan to do retail business within the state, you will have to collect sales tax and thus will need to have a sales tax permit and a DBA. Also, many wholesalers, vendors, and the bank where you do your business banking will want a copy of your DBA. Might as well get that, its done through your county clerks office - its usually cheap and easy to file. As for incorporation, you only want to do that if you feel you will have a personal liability with this business - thats less likely with online businesses. Good Luck.
