How to Set Up a DBA Company in MS
- 1). Click on the "Business Services" tab on the main page of the Mississippi Secretary of State website (see Resources). This will take you to the business-specific part of the website. On the next page, click on "Fees and Forms" from the left panel of the screen.
- 2). View the forms by business structure. Click on the business structure that matches your business. For example, if you have a LLC you need to click on "Limited Liability Companies" to see the forms that are applicable to your business.
