How it works?

Our Process

Our Process

Fill out our automated form to simply and easily generate a flawless document. We take care of all the heavy lifting to save you time and money.
Once we receive your payment and your signed DBA form, we will file your DBA application with the County Clerk/Recorder's Office. (Keep in mind that California counties require physical applications signed in BLACK INK only!)
Once your filed application is approved, your ‘County Certified Copy’ is then automatically mailed to you. (Psst, this is the document that most banks require to open your business account.)
We will publish your DBA in one of our newspapers for four consecutive weeks, as required by California law.
After four weeks of publication, we will bring your proof of publication down to the County Clerk/Recorder's Office for the final filing. We will then mail the recorded Proof of Publication to you.
The county will then mail the final affidavit directly to you.

How do I file a DBA?

Fill in
Follow our prompts to submit your business information via our online form. We’ve broken the necessary criteria down into simple prompts. There’s no rummaging through confusing paperwork or cryptic questions here.
Send
Once your form is complete, all you have to do is print it out, sign it, and mail it to us. It’s as simple as sending a postcard.

What a wonder internet technology has been! I went into the bank not knowing I needed a DBA to start a business checking account and they said I had to go stand in line at the counties’ DBA offices. Thanks to you I didn’t have to stand in line, actually I didn’t even have to move my body, except for some typing of the fingers and in less than a couple minutes I was done and could go back to the bank with the DBA in less than a week. Thanks for all your help, I’m glad there’s companies like you to help people like us out…

You have my gratitude for providing a great service. With one phone call to your firm, I was able to save my self a great deal time and aggravation. I discovered that your organization provided a very efficient and prompt service in filing my dba. I was really surprised how quickly and easily you handled it, I am hoping that you will expand your services to include other sectors of service. Your prices are very reasonable too. Thank you very much.

I recently use FileDBA.com for my new business, Jeffrey Photography. I have filed several dba statements over the years at my local newspaper. Using FileDBA.com was far easier and much less expensive. Excellent service and turnaround. I would not hesitate to recommend FileDBA.com and I will definitely use the service again should the need arise.

I would like to comment on my fruitless efforts before finding FileDBA.com. I had contacted a local weekly newspaper that does DBA’s, I was told I couldn’t get anything sent to me and that I would have to come by their office to get forms, complete them and bring them back. Very few of my questions were answered and the price wasn’t very good either. When I logged onto FileDBA.com the procedure couldn’t be more simple. Very professional, reliable and everything was taken care of at a much lower price. FileDBA.com completed all county requirements and there was nothing for me to worry about. I couldn’t be more pleased! If you want great reliable service you should go to FileDBA.com. I really appreciate it. Thank you

I was very pleased with the whole process of renewing my DBA. This is a terrific, full service vendor who filed everything needed by the County Recorder. I was able to continue working on my business without being sidelined with advertising requirements or time at the Recorders Office. Thank you.

I have to say using FileDBA.com was a great and simple experience. It took me almost a year of procrastination to do something about filing. I just couldn’t imagine taking time out of my day to go to the City and then do all the newspaper listings. Filing out your form on-line was quick and simple and 4 or 5 weeks later I had my official filing from the City. I would recommend you… and already have, because I don’t think I could have done it as efficiently or cost effectively as you did. Thank you.

Being a creative type of person, I was terrified to face all the details of getting a business license. When I learned of the complicated process of filing a DBA I knew there had to be an easier solution. I did a Google search and found you guys. THEN I found several others but yours was the least expensive, so I chose you, thank God! All I had to do was fill out your online form, print, sign, send and you did ALL the rest! I told several friends with small companies and they were dumbfounded and a bit angry at everything they had to deal with when they went through the process…..your system is easier than reading this well deserved testimonial! Thanks.

Hello. I was introduced to your service by a fellow workmate who also has his own business . When I found out you were 100 dollars less than my local newspaper I was very pleased. I was further and unexpectedly pleased when I found out not only did you run my dba in a newspaper you dealt with the county as well. I am very satisfied with you service.

When I filed a fictitious name a few years ago it was a really time consuming difficult process. But, thank goodness for FileDBA.com; when I recently had to file again, it was an entirely different experience. You guys made the process totally ‘turn-key’. I never even left my office and I was finished in a matter of minutes!

At first I thought the experience would be difficult to deal with but it wasn’t. The process only took a few minutes and in a couple of days, the form was done, sealed and returned to me; saving me hours of time. I have recommended the service to friends and will continue to use them in the future. Sincerely,

I would recommend FileDBA.com to anyone wanting to file his/her DBA paperwork. The service was incredibly simple, quick, and effortless. I received my DBA paperwork in less than 60 days and the only thing I had to do was go online, input my info, and click.

Working full-time, a single mother, and starting my own business, I did not have the time to file my DBA in person. FileDBA.com was quick and convienent and I would reccomend this service to anyone.

FileDBA.com is a convenient and easy way to register your business name. There is no reason to go personally and wait in line anymore. I have used FileDBA.com twice and will continue using their services.

In setting up my new business, I knew I had to file a DBA but didn’t know where to begin. An online search led me to Beacon Media Group’s DBA Filing Services. What caught my eye was their claim that they could perform the entire DBA filing process for me faster and for less than I would pay. And they were right! Just a few simple steps with FileDBA.com and they took care of the rest.
