How do I File and Publish?

  • Our price: file and publish (one business name and one registrant): $126
  • for any additional business name and/or registrant on the SAME filing, add an additional $10 

To get started, visit the LA County website HERE.

  1. Click on the third rectangular box marked ‘third party’.
  2. On the next page, click the first rectangular box marked ‘Fictitious Business Name Statement’.
  3. On the next page, use the search option to ensure your desired name is available by entering it and pressing the ‘submit’ button. If it is, tick the box at the bottom marked ‘I have verified that my fictitious business name is available’.
  4. Complete each field required over the next few pages. When you asked for your name, please ensure you put your COMPLETE name as it appears on your driver’s license including any middle names.
  5. When you have completed all the required fields, the screen will reload with an order confirmation number and a blue box at the bottom bearing the words ‘Download File’. Click on that box and your three page pdf application (four pages if you have more than two business names) will appear and download to your desktop.
  6. Email your document to us to be proof read at editor@british-weekly.com. PLEASE NOTE: we ONLY offer free proof reading for our file and publishing clients, NOT for clients who plan to file themselves.
  7. Once we verify the documents are correct, get the affidavit of identity page notarized and mail all originals to us for filing. Our mailing address can be found below.

PRO TIPS – PLEASE COMPLY TO AVOID DELAYS

  1. Ensure that the signer’s name is EXACTLY the same on three documents. Make sure the notary knows this when completing the affidavit of identity.
  2. No colored paper or card stock. Regular white paper only.
  3. No hole punches or staples
  4. Do not alter or deface the document in any way
  5. Make sure the back of your paperwork is blank. Do not print on the other side of previously printed documents.
  6. Did you include a way for us to reach you? Please include a Post-It note with your phone number or email address in case we need to contact you. Do not write this information on the application!
