You file and publish for a fictitious name. Of course, if the prior owner has secured the name, they would have to release it.

It is an inexpensive process, and you might want an attorney to have it done right.

As a Franchise Attorney I can say this. It depends on how you acquired the business. Was it a sole proprietorship or did you buy stock in a corporation or ? Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
