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:
Select the Settings icon and then select the Gear icon.
Select Business information from the menu.
Tap Additional business names and enter the name of your DBA.
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.
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:
IRS EIN verification letter
Trade name certificate
Fictitious Business Name Statement
Assumed Name Certificate
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.
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 add it as a new business in your Found account.
