Fictitious Name?

Can anyone offer me some insight to fictitious names? Specifically PA if you know.



When I did some research it said that if your surname was in your business name you did not need to file for a fictitious name however it went on to say "The inclusion of words that suggest additional owners, such as Company, & Company, & Sons, & Associates, makes the name an assumed or fictitious name." confused me a little bit.



I intended to put the word "Group" in the name of my business. Will that affect filing for a name or not?



Thank you
