What should a PPO do if they change their fictitious business name?

When a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) changes their fictitious business name, the appropriate action is to pay a fee to the licensing bureau. This is important because a fictitious business name is officially recognized and must be registered with the relevant licensing authority to ensure that all business practices are compliant with state regulations.

Updating the fictitious business name with the licensing bureau helps maintain transparency and trustworthiness in the industry. It ensures that clients and the public are aware of the business entity operating under that name and prevents any potential confusion or legal issues related to misrepresentations. Keeping the licensing bureau informed is part of the regulatory compliance that all licensed operators must adhere to in order to legally conduct business within California's private security framework.
