Does Indiana issue DBA or assumed name certificates? I've been told it does not, but would like to confirm.

They are done on the county level, not the state.

Thanks. So if a business is operating under an assumed name, should they be expected to have a DBA certificate from the county, or could they operate without one? Does your bank require a copy of a DBA certificate if a loan is extended to a business operating under an assumed name?

We require it for sole proprietorships. I think corporations with dba's are recorded at the state level. At least they are in Kentucky. Example: XYZ, Inc. with an assumed name of Mom's Magic.
