Statement Of Intention To Do Business Under An Assumed Name {ASUM 5}

FORM NO. ASUM 5 - STATEMENT OF INTENTION TO DO BUSINESS UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME (Domestic and Foreign Entities). This form is used by domestic and foreign entities in the State of Maine to legally register a business name that is different from their official name on file with the Secretary of State. Often referred to as a "doing business as" (DBA) filing, this form is required when a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or nonprofit organization wishes to operate under an assumed name for branding or business purposes. The form requires the exact legal name of the entity, the assumed name under which it intends to conduct business, and any specific business locations in Maine where the name will be used. Foreign entities must also provide their jurisdiction of incorporation and the date they were authorized to do business in Maine. The document must be signed by an authorized representative in accordance with Maine statutes based on the type of entity. It is submitted with a filing fee—$125 for for-profit entities and $25 for nonprofit corporations—and mailed to the Secretary of State’s office in Augusta. The form may be accompanied by special handling requests such as expedited processing or in-person pickup. www.FormsWorkflow.com
