Fictitious Name

July 16th, 2009 |

Author: 1203Broadway

A name under which a person conducts business other than his or her true or legal name. Missouri law requires any person or business entity who transacts business in the state under a name other than their own “true name” to register that business name with the Secretary of State. For a sole proprietorship, a business name is generally considered “fictitious” unless it contains the first and last name of the owner.
