Sole proprietorship name?

Hello, I've read several times that the last name must appear in the name of a sole proprietorship. Is that true, or can I just choose it freely so that it fits my service? Or are there other criteria I need to consider.

Thanks in advance

You are free to choose a fictitious name. However, a sole proprietor must always use their full name on contracts, formalities, and invoices.

Yes, the name of the owner of the sole proprietorship must be included when invoices are issued, contracts (including employment contracts) are concluded, etc.

With a sole proprietorship, there's no legal distinction between a trader and a business. That's why your company is named after YOU!

Of course, you are allowed to use a fictitious name in your day-to-day business, as long as you do not violate the naming rights of third parties or simulate a different legal form.

You must be identified on invoices using your tax number. For online presences, you must always provide an imprint that includes your real name.

Yes, the name must be mentioned. For example,
