DBA address?
Hello BP community!
I'm want to get a DBA for my REI venture to start off instead of just my name. To me, it would seem more professional and would probably be taken more serious when dealing with home owners... That's me thinking though... Anyway, somewhere along the lines I heard or read somewhere to get a DBA but not to use your personal home address. Instead to use a business mail address such as the one from the UPS Store which is not a PO Box but an actual street address.. Is it legal to do this, and would it be more beneficial contrary to using your home address? Please advise.. Your opinion matters...
Thank you and sorry so late...
