Massachusetts requires anyone conducting business under an alias (i.e., any name other than their own), including corporations, to file a business certificate in the community where their business is principally headquartered.
The certificate is effective for four years and the filing fee is $40.00.
The certificate will not be valid until signed by all owners in the presence of a notary and filed with the South Hadley Town Clerk's office.
You may sign in person at the Town Clerk's office or alternatively you may have the certificate notarized privately and mailed to the Town Clerk's office.
