A quick definition of fictitious business name:

A fictitious business name is a name that a person or company uses to do business under a different name than their legal name. For example, if Jane Doe starts a catering business called JD Catering, that is a fictitious business name. Sometimes, states require approval or registration to use a fictitious business name, and there may be rules about what words can be used in the name. It's important to follow the rules and get the necessary approvals to use a fictitious business name.

A more thorough explanation:

A fictitious business name is a name that a person or company uses to do business under, which is different from their legal name. For example, if Jane Doe wants to start a catering business, she might use the name JD Catering instead of her legal name. This is called a fictitious business name.

Some states require approval or registration to use a fictitious business name. For example, in New York, a corporation has to file a DBA (doing business as) with the County Clerk where the business is located. The name also cannot include words that could confuse the business with a government agency.

It's important to follow each state's regulations and file the necessary paperwork to use a fictitious business name.

Example: Jane Doe wants to start a catering business. Her legal name is Jane Doe, but she decides to use the name JD Catering for her business. This is a fictitious business name.

Example: ABC Corporation is a company that sells shoes. They decide to use the name XYZ Shoes for their business. This is also a fictitious business name.

These examples illustrate how a person or company can use a name that is different from their legal name to do business under.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
