Your Pennsylvania Assumed Name

A assumed name simply means that one entity decides to conduct business under a name other than their legal name. An individual can assume an alternate name; so can a corporation or LLC. Any Pennsylvania Assumed Name should be registered with the Corporation Bureau of the Secretary of State.
