New Jersey Division of Taxation
• A corporation, LLC or LP that does business under a name other than its legal name registers an ALTERNATE NAME with DORES ($50, effective for five years, renewable). Sole proprietors and partnerships instead register a TRADE NAME with the county where the business is located. Official source
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
