Minnesota Certificate of Assumed Name (DBA)
This certificate registers an assumed name (DBA) in Minnesota. After filing, Minnesota requires you to publish it in a qualified legal newspaper for two consecutive issues, at your own cost. It gives no exclusive right to the name. If this doesn't fit your situation, please don't buy.
