Title: Re: Fictitious name registration

We have a customer that has formed a general partnership. The BSA Department is reqesting that the partnership name be registered with the SOS as a fictitious name. The account officer is saying it is not required to be registered.

The partnership was formed by John Smith and Paul Bunyan; with the legal partnership name being JP Construction. Is JP Construction required to be registered as a fictitious name with the SOS? After reading the Missouri statues on fictitious name registrations, I have confused myself. I see the account officer's point, given the definition of "person" within the registration statutes. However, JP Construction is not the "true name" of either of the partners.

Please help the confused and settle a disagreement.
