A Fictitious Name and a DBA are one and the same. They can also be known as "trade names." At times, a DBA is used when a company decides to do business under a name other than that in which they are registered. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 10-1-490 trade names are registered with the Clerk of Superior Court of the county where the business is principally located.

The paperwork for a DBA must be drafted through your attorney's office. It can then be filed at the Horry County Register of Deeds Office. However, keep in mind, the only way to protect your business' name is to incorporate or trademark it through the South Carolina Secretary of State's Office.

In most states, DBAs, unlike corporations or LLCs, do not guarantee exclusive use of a name. In most cases, the state or county will file any correctly prepared fictitious business name statement, regardless of name conflict.
