To start a business in the State of Arkansas, one needs to get an ASSUMED NAME CERTIFICATE.
Commonly known as "doing business as / dba", most banks require an Assumed Name Certificate to
open a business bank account. It is necessary to obtain an Assumed Name Certificate in every county
where business will be conducted.
The filing fee for an assumed name in Pulaski County is $25.00.
An Assumed Name Certificate does not expire. Once you file your name, it remains active indefinitely without requiring renewals.
