Yes, it is legal to use a pseudonym. (Surprising, isn't it!?) However, you'll want to make sure you think it through and take the proper legal steps. Your best bet would be to create an LLC or file a D/B/A, to make sure no one later claims that you were misleading. But, yes, it is legal to use a pseudonym (as long as you are not doing it for the purpose of evading legal action or for criminal purposes.)
Good luck on your new business! Let me know if you have any other questions. I offer a free initial consultation to new clients.
