What words are prohibited in a DBA or fictitious business name?

There are some restrictions: you cannot use words that may mislead the general public into believing the company is something other than what is being portrayed by the DBA name. For example, you may not use corporate name endings such as Inc., Incorporated or Corp. if the company is not officially formed as a corporation. Also, you may not use Limited Liability Company or LLC if the company is not officially formed as an LLC.
