Minnesota Residential Roofer Practice Test

Regarding misrepresentation of geographic origin, which statement is true?

It is allowed if the business is small. It is allowed if registered with the county. It is prohibited to use a fictitious name to intentionally misrepresent geographic origin. It is allowed if the name includes the city.

Correct Answer:

It is prohibited to use a fictitious name to intentionally misrepresent geographic origin.

Explanation:

Misleading customers about where a business comes from rests on honest naming and advertising. Using a fictitious name to imply a geographic origin that isn’t true is not allowed because it deceives consumers about who you are and where you’re based. Registering a DBA with the county doesn’t authorize deception; even with a registered name, you must avoid calling a location into question or suggesting origins you don’t actually have. Simply including a city in the name isn’t automatically acceptable either, unless that city accurately reflects the business’s true origin or location. The size of the business doesn’t justify misrepresentation. In short, intentionally using a fictitious name to misrepresent geographic origin is prohibited.
