It is customary to revoke the right of a business to name itself if there were too many violations. If you've ever gone to a nightclub or bar which has no name, only its street address number, that's what has happened there.

How can a business function without a name? So much tax paperwork requires a name. Is it just a sole proprietor that files everything under the owners name?
