DBAs
If your business is operating under multiple names or divisions, you may have to file for a fictitious business name, also knows as a DBA, so you can cash checks under all of your business names. Obtaining a DBA is required to cash checks or open bank accounts for different divisions or company names, which can be an important part of growing your business. We file the DBA with the required government agencies and publish where required (in most states). You’ll receive the approval and publication certificate for your records.
Foreign Qualifications
When you incorporate you must determine what state to incorporate in. If you wish to do business in more than one state, you may need to Foreign Qualify if you are not incorporated there. (Please note that many states will tax a corporation that exists in their state, even if it is not doing business there.)

Trademarks
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design, or a combination thereof, that distinguishes the source of your goods from those of others. A Service Mark is similar to a trademark. However, it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product. Generally, the terms “trademark” and “mark” are used to refer to both trademarks and service marks.
We offer three Trademark services:
Comprehensive Trademark Search
Is your business name already in use by someone else?
Trademark Application :
Protect your brand entity when you register your trademark.
Trademark Watch :

Copyright Application
MyCorporation offers copyright application and registration services. Copyright is a protection that covers published and unpublished literary, scientific and artistic works, whatever the form of expression, provided such works are fixed in a tangible or material form. Copyright laws grant the creator of the “work” the exclusive right to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform, and display the work publicly.
