Registering a DBA in South Carolina

South Carolina does not have statutes requiring or permitting the registration or filing of DBAs or fictitious names, therefore South Carolina Secretary of State office does not list or register DBAs.

So how can you protect your business name in South Carolina? Viable solutions include registering your company as LLC, corporation or another legal entity separate from it's owners, however we advise to consult with your attorney about additional ways of protecting your business name.
