Processing time for DBA

Asked by: Brian  — 1 September, 2011

How long is the process of actually getting the DBA and opening a bank account under that DBA name?

Brian,

It depends on the state and many times county or even town where your business is located (if its sole proprietorship then the state/county/town where you live).

Typically in many states you can visit the county/town clerk and obtain a DBA registration on the spot. Sometimes it would kill half a day, but you would have it done same day. Most of them require the application to be notarized (but provide notary public services on premises) and most of them require a money order as a form of payment (not cash).

If mailed in it could be anywhere between few days and few weeks, again, depending on the state/county/town.
