How do I add a DBA to my account?

If you do business under a different name than your legal business name, you may add that business name to your Found account. Be sure that you’ve verified your primary business name first—this is required before you can add a DBA.

Once your primary business name has been verified, follow these steps to add a DBA:

1. Select the Settings icon and then select the Gear icon.

2. Select Business information from the menu.

3. Tap Additional business names and enter the name of your DBA.

4. Add documentation showing that you have the authority to operate under that additional business name.

Just like your primary business name, once approved, you will be able to accept deposits addressed to your DBA. Found users are able to add up to three DBAs to their account.

FAQs

What documentation do I need to add a DBA?

In order to add a DBA, our team will need an official document from the agency that regulates businesses in your state to verify your DBA. We accept the following documents for verifying DBAs:

• Articles of Organization

• Articles of Incorporation

• IRS EIN verification letter

• Trade name certificate

• Fictitious Business Name Statement

• Assumed Name Certificate

What if I don’t have documentation for my DBA?

Some states don’t require DBA registration, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. 

Regrettably, if you are not able to obtain and provide documentation showing that you’ve registered a DBA, we will not be able to verify your DBA request.

If I’m running multiple businesses, should I add them as DBAs?

DBAs are fictitious or assumed names for your business that are different from its legal name. If you’re operating a separate business, you should not add it as a DBA. We look forward to supporting multiple businesses in Found soon.
