A business license is a requirement of a state and/or local jurisdiction and authorizes a person or company to conduct a business. A DBA or “doing business as” is a requirement for a person or company to file a registration document with a state or local jurisdiction notifying that public that they are using an assumed or fictitious name to conduct their business. A DBA is not always required while a general business license is required.
