Yes! This type of business ownership is called a Sole Proprietorship also recognized as a 'DBA' or doing business as...Great Construction or whatever you decide to name your business. I would highly recommend that you check into the proper licensing, insurance and tax requirements related to the type of business your operating. Local statutes or regulations will determine whether you have to file any official documentation if your name does not appear in the name of the business. Some places call them "d.b.a.", others call them "fictitious names." In MA, for example, you file a d.b.a. with your local town clerk or risk a $100 per day fine until you do.
