The Usefulness of Fictitious Business Names

idea
Date: 2013-08-25

What:

Reconcile fictitious name statements with business licenses.

Does it make sense to include Fictitious as an attribute of a Business license since one may not be exclusive of the other?

How?

Business licenses, sole proprietors not with a personal name. The filed names should be at Solano County.

Issues: enforcing this is difficult, costly, and not of much value. It seems like a feasible opportunity to look into streamlining.
