The first step is to\u00a0search the businesses registered in Ottawa County<\/a> to confirm that the business name you have selected is available. The Clerk is authorized to reject any assumed name, which is likely to mislead the public, or is similar to other business names as to lead to confusion or deception. The law requires that a sole proprietor or co-partners file their business at the County Clerk\u2019s Office. A DBA protects a business from possible name duplications by other businesses.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Business Registration & Renewal Application” admin_label=”Business Registration & Renewal Application” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
