My mother owned a spray tanning salon and the dba (doing business as) was in her name and my sister and I worked for her.To make a long story short she sent my sister and I to meet with a salesman to put an ad in a massive mail flyer for advertising, this was in 2004. He showed us the lay out and said he had a contract for us to sign I told him everything was in my mothers name and legally I didn't have the authority to sign the contract. He said just sign the contract and I'll fax everything over to your mother for her approval.
