	Doing business as - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phrase "doing business as" (abbreviated DBA or d/b/a) is a legal term, meaning that the name of the business or operation does not include the legal name of its proprietor, the names of all partners, or the official registered name of the limited partnership or corporation that owns it.
		DBA statements are often necessary with a franchise, where the franchisee may be something like The Big Fast Food Restaurant Company, Inc., but business is done under the brand name the public would recognize, such as Super-Burger (the franchiser).
		Notably in California and also in other areas, filing a DBA statement also requires that a notice of the fictitious name be published in local newspapers for some set period of time to inform the public of the owner's intent to operate under an assumed name.

They have also increased understanding of the informal economy, which puts much of the business activity in developing countries beyond the reach of government regulation and revenues.
