I want to create a "Company" identity to be related to my websites. Do I actually need to do anything or can I tell my domain registrar that it is now PowerWebConsulting or some such. I intend to file any taxes through myself since my company wouldn't be a "real" company but rather a way to keep my name on the down low. Or can I just call my self Stiganator Consulting and ask checks to be written to that and banks will accept it?

A bank will require a state licensed entity to open an account.
