Business & LicensingQuestion 522 of 690
Maria, a sole proprietor licensed contractor, wants to do business under the name "Bay Area Premier Builders." What does B&P §7066 require regarding this fictitious name?
a.She must form an LLC before using any trade name
b.She may use any name without notifying the CSLB
c.She must apply to have the fictitious business name (style) added to her contractor's license with the Registrar before contracting under it
d.Only corporations need to register fictitious names with the CSLB
Explanation
B&P §7066 requires that any name, style, or designation used by a licensee in contracting be reported to and recorded with the Registrar on the license. Filing a fictitious-business-name statement with the county is not a substitute for this CSLB filing; both may be required.
