About each permit
Certificate of Business Name (D/B/A) Filing
A Suffolk County business trading under a name other than the owner's own legal name — a 'doing business as' or assumed name — must file a Certificate of Business Name with the Suffolk County Clerk under NY General Business Law §130. This is a filing, not a business license: it records the trade name for public and legal purposes and does not itself authorize the business to operate. It applies across all 10 industries covered here whenever a business uses an assumed name, regardless of which industry it is in. The current dollar filing fee is not stated in the county's Guide for Business; a business should confirm the current fee directly with the Suffolk County Clerk's office before filing.
