"How to Register Your New Business"

Light Bulb

At the Macomb County Clerk's Office, residents can register (or renew) a business under an assumed name. This registration is also known as a "DBA" (Doing Business As). Applicants will file as a "Sole Proprietorship" (one owner) or a "Co-Partnership" (two or more owners). The fee is $10 to register a business name.

You must be at least 18 years of age to file a business registration. Business registrations are valid for five years.

Corporations and LLCs (Limited Liability Company) are formed through the State. You do not want to be registered with both the County and the State, because that would be two different legal structures with two different levels of liability. Choose one or the other, not both. If you have a partnership, it is strongly recommended that you have a written agreement no matter what your legal structure may be.


* Visit the State's "Licensing and Regulatory Affairs" website [ [link removed] ] or call 517-241-6470

The Macomb County Small Business & Technology Development Center (SBDC) provides assistance to new and existing business owners. Many of their services are free, including seminars and confidential one-on-one consulting with trained business counselors. These business counselors can help you with developing business plans, financing, marketing, or any other issues your business may be facing. Visit their website at sbdcmichigan.org/ [ [link removed] ]

The Troop, sponsored by the St. Margaret Men's Club (St. Clair Shores), congratulated (from left) Mason Stansberry, Luke Anderson, and Milan Edwards.
