Starting a business in Marin County or renewing an established local brand? Whether you’re a shop in San Rafael, a wellness provider in Mill Valley or an online company in Novato, securing your business name is a crucial step. Ensuring your Fictitious Business Name (FBN) Statement is published according to California law is essential—and the Pacific Sun helps make that process seamless.
If you’re operating a business in Marin County under a name different from your legal name, California law requires a Fictitious Business Name (FBN) Statement. After filing with the Marin County Clerk, you must publish the “doing business as” (DBA) statement in an adjudicated newspaper.
Publishing your FBN statement ensures transparency and protects consumers. It publicly links your business name to the legal owner, fostering trust and accountability.
Steps to Publish in Marin County
- File with the Marin County Clerk: Begin by submitting your FBN Statement at the Clerk’s office, either online or in person. You’ll receive a stamped copy, which you’ll need for publication.
- Publish the notice in a Legally Adjudicated Newspaper: California law requires publication in a newspaper of general circulation within Marin County. Our service simplifies this process. Publishing your notice in a court-approved publication meets state and county requirements.
- Publish for Four Consecutive Weeks: After publication, we’ll provide a Proof of Publication, which you must file with the Clerk’s office.
