Contact Field for assumed name (or DBA)

20 votes

Please add a field for the assumed name (or DBA) of the business. This field should also be searchable so when I client calls and gives this name we can find the contact quickly.

Great Idea! We'd love to have a separate field for DBA. Our workaround for this problem is to create a separate Contact for the DBA, with a note to "See Account #______" and also set a Relationship between the two Contacts. At least we can search for the DBA name and eventually get to the right account, but it's unnecessarily tedious.

"DBA buisness name" (suggested by sonia on 2018-07-23), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

We end up appending "dba xxxx biz" for our Sole Prop clients. We tried adding the dba as a second address line, but that messed up the sync with QuickBooks. Having a line dedicated to the DBA would be awesome, especially if it could sync to the QB field for Company Name.

DBA search would be very helpful, especially for new employees who only know the business by its DBA name
