Certificate Of Assumed Name For Use By Corps LPs And LLCs {541}

541 - CERTIFICATE OF ASSUMED NAME FOR USE BY CORPORATIONS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS AND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES. This form is used in Michigan by corporations, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies (LLCs) to conduct business under a name different from their officially registered legal name. Often referred to as a “DBA” (doing business as), an assumed name allows an organization to market itself, brand products, or operate divisions without creating a new legal entity. This form requires the business to provide its official legal name, identification number, and the assumed name it wishes to use. Once filed, the assumed name remains valid until December 31 of the fifth calendar year after filing unless terminated earlier. The document must be signed by an authorized officer, partner, member, or agent, depending on the type of entity. Filing this certificate with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs ensures that the assumed name is legally recognized, provides public notice of the business’s operating name, and keeps the company in compliance with state law. www.FormsWorkflow.com
