Assumed Names
Most Register of Deeds offices will have needed forms for filing of an Assumed Name. Once form is properly completed we will be glad to record with said recording fee noted below. We only handle the filing of such documents which consist of sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations doing business under an Assumed Name. North Carolina statutes state the one must file an Assumed Name prior to engaging business in any county within the State if such business is going to be conducted under an Assumed name. Below you will find ONLY a guideline - additional forms may be required.
