Ask Can you use a business name instead of your real name on a freelance platform?

[Brendan]

Some platforms allow this, especially those designed for agencies or studio setups, but many require your legal name for verification and payment purposes. Even when a business name is allowed for display, the account behind it still needs to be tied to a real person with valid identity documents. This creates some confusion for freelancers who operate under a brand. If you run your freelance work under a business name, how have you handled this on the platforms you use?
