ECU Can Help You Take Care of Business!

Required:^*

• All individuals with a role on accounts must have a valid government issued photo ID with current address listed^*
• Assumed Name Registration
  • ECU will require the Assumed Name Registration for Doing Business As (DBA) registered in TX, VA and any other states that may require Assumed Name Registration.
    • The State of TN does not require individuals to register the DBA if they are operating as a Sole Proprietor
    • There are several states including TX and VA that do require individuals to register the DBA in the county where they have a physical location, but if they do not have a physical location, they have to register in each county where they conduct business
  • To use a DBA name in TN and other states that may NOT require a registration, you must provide any one or more of the following:
    • Use of Surname in DBA (No additional documentation required)
    • Business License (listing the DBA and the individual’s name)
      • Not all cities and counties will list the name and DBA together on the license. If that is the case, then we will need at least one of the following documents to determine if the individual can use the DBA
    • Sales tax certificate issued by state where Sole Proprietor conducts business showing the Sole Proprietor name and DBA
    • EIN documents, if applicable
      • A Sole Proprietor will only use an EIN for payroll purposes, so this may be uncommon
    • Tax Return/Financial Statement listing both the DBA and Sole Proprietor name
