Just thought I would contribute this if Michael wishes to use the term prevalent in Canada
A trade name, trading name, or business name, is a pseudonym used by companies that do not operate under their registered company name. The term for this type of alternative name is a "fictitious" business name. Registering the fictitious name with a relevant government body is often required.
In a number of countries, the phrase "trading as" (abbreviated to t/a) is used to designate a trade name. In the United States, the phrase "doing business as" (abbreviated to DBA, dba, d.b.a., or d/b/a) is used,[1] among others, such as assumed business name[2] or fictitious business name.[3] In Canada, "operating as" (abbreviated to o/a) and "trading as" are used, although "doing business as" is also sometimes used.[4]
A company typically uses a trade name to conduct business using a simpler name rather than using their formal and often lengthier name. Trade names are also used when a preferred name cannot be registered, often because it may already be registered or is too similar to a name that is already registered.

What does it mean when a company is trading as?
It is simply a way to trade as something other than your official limited company name. Your limited company name will be officially registered at Companies House but your Trading As name will not be registered with anyone.

Xyz, incorpated as/registered as
My preference would be for the latter.
If the "enseigne" is registered, you could also legal it up and put "operating under the registered trade mark abc".

A good local example where I live would be "Flannery's Pub", registered as "Jacques Duval SAS".
...because "Jacques Duval's Pub" doesn't quite cut the (Dijon) mustard.

: Nope, it means "trading as" (UK/Ireland); An entity registered with a specific name can trade under a different name, that's the whole point here; e.g. XYZ Ltd. t/as Conor's Cakeshop// "trademark" is something else entirely

I realise that Chris, but depending on the sentence structure, you could also rejig the sentence. / You're missing my point, which is that you can say the chicken laid the egg or that the egg came out of the chicken -- same result, in the end.

Me neither, but I was just offering another option. Thanks Phil!

Thanks Cyril for decrypting.
I'm not sure whether "Trading as" is a directly equivalent thing to either "DBA" or "FASRS", but I suspect it is a case of "DBA" = U.S. and "Trading as" (or "T/A") = U.K. Probably Michael is looking for U.S. terms, but you never know.
