Do I need a DBA or any license to run an add on Craigslist, offering computer repair?

November 24th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I am currently in college for computer programming, and wish to fix computers locally on the side. What I was planning on doing was running an ad, along with prices offering general PC repair locally on Craigslist. If I was to do this and attract business would I need a DBA or some other kind of license?

You will need a city business license, probably, and you will want to register a DBA name as well.

    You don’t need a DBA unless you operate your business using a name that is not your personal name.

    "The exact rules of the name you can use vary from state to state and from country to country. Before proceeding, you should check with your local business authority. In some states, you can either use part of your name or your full name and a description of the services you provide. If you intend to use more than one person in the title of the business or if you are just using your first name, for example John’s Radioshack, then you must file for a DBA."
