    The process for registering a DBA (Doing Business As) in New Jersey depends on the legal structure of your business. For corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs), you register an \u201cAlternate Name\u201d with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. For sole proprietors and general partnerships, you register a trade name with the county clerk\u2019s office where you operate your business.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
