What is the cost to obtain or change a PPO's fictitious business name?

The cost to obtain or change a Private Patrol Operator's (PPO) fictitious business name is indeed $25. This fee is established by California's regulatory framework for private security services, which includes licensing and naming requirements for businesses operating in this sector.

A fictitious business name allows a PPO to conduct business under a name other than their legal business name, which can be an important aspect of branding and marketing. Understanding the costs associated with business operations, like this fee, is essential for compliance and financial planning.

The simplicity of the $25 fee also reflects California's efforts to make it accessible for private security operators, especially considering the competitive nature of the industry.
