By far the most affordable option to publish your DBA for your new business. Other newspapers charge double. I am in Alameda county, had no issues whatsoever. Really easy. read more

I had used DBA Store in the past and had a good experience. But the last time I used it was horrible. I submitted a filing and heard nothing for months! I emailed multiple times and got no response. I called and was told the person in charge would call me back but she never did. Finally after months of this I called and asked to speak to the supervisor. Finally they filed my form. The excuse the person gave was that she had been on vacation. It finally got filed but it was filed twice which created a mess that they refused to address. I will never use this service again. read more

Follow-up review from my initial experience. Decided to check out the online option so that I can be done with the process. It was straightforward and only took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. I would definitely recommend completing the process online if your schedule doesn't allow you to complete the process in person. The website link is attached to yelp and is below: https://www.dbastore.com/homeTemplate.cfm?uid=&ReferenceLinkId=25&actionoption=2 read more

Inter-City Express is a legal newspaper published in the bay area. years ago needed to get a ficticious business name published. the oakland tribune downtown office had closed. one had to trek down to hegenberger to get anything done. found the inter-city express and got the fbn published. cost comparisons did not influence my decision. it was convenience. seeing the reviews now shows the money difference between the tribune and inter-city express can be quite substantial now. read more

This is the most convenient spot, around the corner from the Alameda County records office, to complete the requirements for registering a Fictitious Business Name. The requirement is to have your business name published in a newspaper of general circulation for four consecutive weeks (5-days apart), and at least once within 30-days of filing. You could go to dbastore.com to register your business for publication. I walked the 4-minutes and had Lucille fill the details for me. For $40, $5 more than filling the form online, I got piece and mind, prompt service, and the assurance that it would be done right (no fat fingering this submission). The in-person service was *worth every dollar*! read more

Inter-City Experss is by far the cheapest way to publicize your Fictitious Business Name Statement (DBA). It's $40 for up to two business names and an additional $2 per additional name. Only $35 if you file online at www.dbastore.com However you cannot file your Statement of Abandonment online. So head to their office that's open until 5pm. The office isn't very cozy, but you're not there to loiter. They help you fast and you're out in 5-10 minutes. Plus they will report the filling to the County Clerk-Recorder. They are friendly, and it's easy to reach them via phone. Just a couple blocks from Patrick O'Connell, Alameda County Clerk-Recorder on Madison St. so you might as well head straight there (or go online to save $5) when you submit your DBA. read more

I haven't actually received the paper yet, but I'm pretty sure it will work out okay, so I'm going to review it anyway. I went to the Inter-City Express to have my fictitious business name published. It's a stupid requirement, but you have to do it, so whatever. Anyway, I was referred by Arlinda at the County Recorder's office, which is less than 2 blocks away. It took me 5 minutes to get this obligation taken care of, which I appreciated very much. Also, it's almost half the price of the Oakland Tribune, which I ALSO appreciated very much. NOTE: This will cost you $35. read more

After filing a DBA fictitious business name, you need to: 1) the statement must be published in an Alameda County newspaper of general circulation in the area where the business is to be conducted within 30 days of filing with County. The statement must be published once a week for four consecutive weeks with five days between each date of publication. 2) You will also need to file an affidavit of publication with the county clerk within 30 days after the completion of the publication cycle. Inter-City Express does all of the above for $35 and their online process is easy. If you don't publish the first notice within 30 days, you will need to go and re-file for another $40. Their customer service is also great and friendly. I delayed publishing, and finally decided to do it online. I called them since I tried to fill out the online application too close to publication date (I filed with the county 1/13 and needed to publish by 2/13. DBAstore's online application wouldn't let me apply when I went online on 2.10). Sofia helped me and told me to push the date that I filed and she would stay on the line and correct the date after and she would publish it to fit within 30 days of my filing. Saved me a trip back to the county office. Yay! read more

A NEW FAN! And a happy customer!! I used Inter-City Express (DBAstore.com) to publish my DBA name as required for a new business. I have to say that I contacted a quite few of my local newspapers and they were so expensive! Finally - YELP (as usual) came to my rescue! I came across Inter-City Express and read all the great reviews. With so many 5 star ratings, there is no way I could resist checking them out. It was so easy to follow the instructions, fill the form out online, pay (very affordable) and submit! SO EASY!! Seriously a life saver!!! THANK YOU!!!! Ciao!! T read more

With ease and peace of mind I was able to file my fictitious business name statement . I saved myself time by doing it online for $35 . Dbastore. Com , It took less than 10 minutes to complete . I called multiple times to the office to make sure I did everything correct and they were so kind to answer all my questions . Highly recommended read more

I'm changing my DBA and needed to file a new business name with the county. Looked around at getting the publication done at other newspapers, but they cost nearly twice as much, and I needed to head into the office to make it happen. Inter-City allowed me to do the entire process online (in about 5 minutes) and sent over my confirmation via e-mail! AND for less than half of what the others were charging! Gotta love it! Saved me so many steps... Now to tackle the State Franchise Board of Equalization... ahem! read more

I had my fictitious business statement published here they did a good job publishing my business they send me proof of date publication in a statement.Very happy with Inter-City Express. read more

I went here after filing my paperwork with The City of Oakland to publish my DBA name. The cost can not be beat and I did not have to check up on them to see if they actually completed the job. To top it off, I was sent a notice with the dates when my DBA name would be listed in the paper. I would definitely recommend Inner-City Express! read more

A necessary evil to publish fictitious business name after filing...it is. I walk in....tell the kind young lady at the "Legal Advertising" desk that I needed to publish my fictitious business name, hand over the proper form from the Clerk's office, pay $40, get receipt....done. Experience: 4 Fast, efficient, simple. Value: 5 It costs $40 to publish here. Other publications around charge $75+ (as I've used before). Service: 3 It had to be done, and they took care of it. Simple. Overall: 4 Get your fictitious biz name published here, for less, and in one fell swoop. You literally just walk around the block from the Clerk's office and you're here. read more

I just used them (dbastore.com) to publish my DBA name as required for a new business. It was $18, versus $95 for the San Jose merc. The choice was easy based on that alone, plus i could do it all on-line and in about 5 minutes as opposed to faxing over documents or going in to the Merc office and standing in line. Yay! I'm a fan! read more

AWESOME! Called Lucille. While I was on the line with her I scanned over my fictitious business statement, paid the $40 via VISA, and was done within 4 minutes!!! HIGHLY recommended! (It may have helped that I called at 2:30pm in the afternoon; perhaps that's not a busy time of day over there?) read more

Their price for publishing FBN's can't be beat! Have been using them for 5 years. Always professional and never an issue!

I agree that having a link to website would be very helpful. Otherwise, an excellent service. (Maybe skip the message option and have the link?) read more

Quick and easy. Only a couple blocks away from the Alameda County Recorder's Office. In order to properly register your fictitious business name with the Alameda County Recorder's Office, you need to publish your business name within 30 days. Inner-City Press will do it for you. They will send a copy of it to the Recorder's Office, and send you a copy too (I just did it today, so I haven't received my copy yet). Oh... and this will cost you $40. read more

JUST registered my DBA (Doing Business As) Fictitious Business name through Inter-City Express. EASY! EASY! EASY! Go to dba.com and click on the link to register your business. $40 got me 4 adds - the number you need to legally file!!!!! YES! read more

I have used this several times for my work. Fast, convenient, inexpensive; the trifecta of good business.

If you need a fast, easy, and online posting for a FBN record via the newspaper, this is the place. And the fee is very reasonable.

The previous reviews sounded fake to me, but I gave it a shot and filed my DBS notice with them, so far so good. I'll report back!

I hate to do this, However it was really frustrating that their website wasn't listed on yelp. I tried to Google the website and couldn't find it. So, basically your inaccessibility deters me from wanting to use your services. I'll try calling tomorrow, but this was not a good first impression. read more

Excellent customer service,the gentleman at the front desk was very helpful.

WOW! I can't believe how easy this was! In three easy steps, you can be on your way to getting your DBA published! Highly-highly recommend this site (https://www.dbastore.com/) I searched all over trying to get a decent response to filing online, and it was such a pain not to mention expensive! I appreciate YELP in so many ways...thank you all for your recommendations and I have to agree with all of you - this was the best choice! Fast, convenient, and reasonable! read more

Found them on yelp. Did everything online in 15 minutes. Hope to see the ad in newspaper sometime soon.

I cannot say enough good things about Inter-City Express. The customer service is excellent. I was in and out of the office very fast. Also, the prices where very reasonable. Overall a very good business. read more

Great -all online, took 5 minutes since I already had my notarized copy in hand. $40 total - for four weeks of printing! A bargain!

Went through the online application and found $65 only for publication (filed by myself). $65 is already more expensive than the other companies, so I called Contra Costa News Register and did for $50. If it's online service, DBAstore should offer less than $40 read more

Very satisfied, to the point, and gets the job done! When I call someone immediately answers, which is the best, and you can publish things and make payment to do so all from home or on your smart phone. :) very happy read more

well that was easy ... i literally just went online and filed my DBA in less than five minutes for $35 ... saved myself a trip to get this done somewhere in person. awesome! read more

Thank you, Regina for your help. You made my experience at Inter-City an easy one. Your professional attitude and kind heart did not go unnoticed. Thank you for doing an awesome job. Inter-City Express is lucky to have you. And, take care of that foot. :) read more

Just renewed business license and the papers that the county advertise/list range in price from $64 to $450, filed online with these guys and it was $35! read more

Very easy 3 steps process - all online.. just $35!. you cant go wrong with Inter City Express if you need DBA publication and filing related services... read more

I have to say this process was fast and efficient! I parked on the side of Oak st near faith alliance church and was able to find a really close parking spot! I called once I arrived because I used the exact address but it was actually two doors over! So first you'll notice a sandwich shop/cafe in the corner and then there's some apartments with 1109 above them...the actual office is the third door down! When I called the writer/clerk/receptionist gave me this information. She seemed really pleasant. Once I found the place I paid about $1.00 to park that gave me about 30 minutes to be in the office. I was actually only in the office for about 5 minutes! I paid $40 in cash to have my business listed and once she entered all the information I was good to go. She handed me my receipt and I walked back to my car with 23 minutes left on the meter! I'm ecstatic that the process was fast efficient and the lady who helped me told me I would see my business listed next Friday! No complaints read more

I'll chime in that this seems to be the lowest cost DBA filing advertising available in Alameda County. If you follow the instructions on dbastore.com, it will ultimately place your ad in this publication. read more

Great experience! Friendly staff! I was in and out in less than 7 minutes - which included information about the process and tips for renewing. All for $40. Great deal! read more

The cost to publish a notification of name change is $110 for four weeks, which is required by the California courts. However, nowhere on their website does Inter-City Express mention this; you have to fill out their entire set of forms before you are allowed to find out the price. This is INCREDIBLY annoying. read more

Loved this online service! 5 minutes and handled with receipt in inbox asap! Also, CHEAP $40! BEST PRICE OUT THERE.
