Who is required to register a business in Ohio?
Any business entity, domestic or foreign, planning to transact business within Ohio, using a name other than their own personal name, must register with this office. Business entities must file the appropriate formation documents to register their business. Sole proprietorships and general partnerships are not required to register the business entity; however, they may need to register a trade name or report the use of a fictitious name if they are doing business in a name not their own. (For example, if you are doing business under your personal name, i.e. Bob Smith, then you do not need to register with our office, but if you are doing business under the name “Bob Smith’s Automotive Shop,” then the name must be registered with our office).
If you do business in Ohio and need a registered agent to receive service of process and other legal notifications, please contact me.

Registering a business in Ohio is mandatory for any entity conducting business under a name other than their personal one. While sole proprietorships and general partnerships may be exempt, they should register a trade name if operating under a fictitious one, emphasizing the importance of proper business identification.
