Any person conducting a business, individually or as a partnership, in the commonwealth under any title or name other than his real name, must file a business certificate (Doing Business As) with the town clerk of each city or town in which the business has an office.
The fee for a business certificate is $40.00. A $20.00 fee is charged to amend or discontinue the DBA. Certificates may be filed in person at the Town Clerk’s office or submitted by mail. If filing by mail include a self-addressed stamped envelope with completed, notorized form and fee to the Town Clerk’s Office. Business certificates are renewable every four years. All persons operating the business must sign the certificate and have their signatures notarized. Filing a DBA does not protect your business name.
