Our recommendation
If your business is a Sole Proprietor you should file as an individual and include your business as Doing Business As (“DBA”) like this:
Doing business as (DBA)
Here is why: If you file as a business but have not registered your business with the state, you will have more difficulty pursuing your case in court. Your case could be dismissed or you may have trouble collecting even if you win.
