The Assumed Business Names page has information about using assumed business names in North Carolina.
An assumed business name (ABN) is the same as a DBA (doing business as) name. Both terms refer to a name under which a business operates that is different from its legal name. Businesses using an assumed name should obtain an “assumed name certificate” to comply with state statutes.
