We are small business. We have been told that we have to list our Corporation name on all of our business cards, marketing material, etc. We have been using our 'doing business as' name on everything. Not sure how to go about changing or if we really have to. We just filed a certificate of assumed name. Should that not be sufficient?

Give us a clue what you are talking about.

Start with who is telling you all this stuff and what did they say when you asked them your questions.

Our Corporate Attorney is telling us this. Our official company name is InHouse Group, Inc, dba InHouse Media. All of our literature shows InHouse Media. Our attorney said we have to add our 'real' name to everything. All of our clients and vendors know us as InHouse Media. We do show InHouse Group, Inc. on checks. I am just a little confused.

One more question: Since you have an attorney, why are you asking a question here?

Okay, one more: Does your attorney give you a statute or case or some other kind of legal authority for his opinion? If not, ask him to back it up with some authority. That's what you pay him for.
