- If all that you're concerned about is opening a bank account under a
- business name, I'd check with the bank before going spending money
- for a DBA permit. My bank was happy to open a new account for me under
- any name I pleased. I've got several accounts, one for each name I
- do business under. After all, when you're starting out, every penny counts.
- As always, your mileage may vary.
