What is the difference between a DBA and an LLC? | Business Basics | Choosing an Entity | DBA vs LLC

There's a lot of misinformation out there about business formations. What's the biggest myth or misunderstanding you've had about DBAs or LLC? Drop a line below. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Does the LLC come with a EIN

I already have an LLC, but I want to have another business with a different name can I put the other business under my LLC?

I was here to learn how DBA works but i can't stop saying to my self wow she's beautiful ❤️ gosh u are sweet also thanks for the info

Im in Litigation now with an apartment complex, the owners of the company put in a sanction against me , claiming that the apartments are just a dba and cant be sued? Is that true , also the reason the company put that sanction in because i put a default judgement in against the apartment complex for not answering the summons complaint .

Thank you

HI I HAVE A LLC BUT THEY EMAIL SAYING I HAVE DO A TRADEMARK TO CLAIM MY NAME THEN THE EMAIL ALSO SAID ONCE THE DBA BEEN APPROVE THEY WILL SEND ALL MY DBA DOCUMENTS IT SAYS ON MY REGISTERED MY BUSINESS THEN LLC TRYING UNDERSTAND THIS

Great information thanks keep up the good work

I started a vending business but decided to go in to other part of the and was thinking would it be easier to get a DBA or just go ahead and change my name of my business. But after looking at this video I guess it would be better to just do it right and change the name of my business

So if I already own and operate an S corp but I diversified my business and the name on the s corp doesn’t match the new diversified part of the business. If I opened a dba it would have zero protection? I thought I could open a dba just for the name ( sort of like it’s own branch of the company) and run the money through my s corp?

Thanks for getting straight to the point. Knowledge is power. Keep sharing that knowledge. Have a great day.

Really sad to hear someone trained in the legal profession not really understand what is a DBA. If you know how to properly register a DBA you have better protection than an LLC. Removing Civics and Latin from the school system has really dumb down the population.

I could be wrong though and lawyer really know what a DBA is and don’t want people to know, that way they can keep making money off the ignorant.

Thank you for this information and explaining the difference between the two. I'm currently starting a business, and I'm really not sure where to start.

So basically- don’t get an LCC unless you have assets?
And If you don’t have any assets and are just starting your business, a DBA would be best for me?

I have a soap business but I have soap for women, men, and children. I have my business name but I have special names for the men and children soap. They all will be under my main business name but do I need to get a DBA or should I just say the name on the labels and say created by my business name. Or should I get LLC for each name.

Perfectly explained, thanks.

Thank u so much bc u broke it down to where anyone can understand it ❤❤❤

Can you do taxes with a dba ?

Hello, I would like to find out how to use my LLC for startups (like venture capital - Having more than 5 startup under my LLC). How does that work

Straight to the point and thank you for explaining it in an easy way to understand

what if you do a dba for your LLC ??

I have an LLC. Can I have a DBA listed under my LLC? So essentially, it's the same company but I wanted to create new branding for a service that I'm offering. I would file taxes together under the same LLC. I also opened an additional bank account at the same bank so that I know what portions of the business is bring in what money and when. Is that okay? Or is there no need for a DBA?

Thank you so much! So do you need to file a DBA before or after filing an LLC, or is the LLC enough (if the business is not just your name {"John Jones, LLC", etc.})? I just filed an LLC. Do I need to now file a DBA for that LLC?

Straight and to the point. 🤝👑 subbed 👍

that was helpful and understandable thx

For vending machines and atm machines businesses, would you recommend an LLC instead of a DBA?

Thanks so so much

Can you have a DBA without an LLC?

Thank you so much. Quick question. Can you have a LLC register a DBA in another name?

Thanks 🙏 much appreciated 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

What if you have a holding company with other entities that funnel up to holding? Holding would be registered as LLC, then other business entities feed into that one but listed as DBA? Or would those other entities each individually be LLC's under holding? Thanks so much.

Can we do a DBA under an LLC?

I wrote an ebook under a pen name. That later blossomed into a Facebook group with a small following. I’d like to begin offering coaching packages, probably as a sole prop. Would I need a DBA in my pen name or can I create an LLC and use my pen name without a DBA? I’m so confused by all of this.

Definitely a sub!!!
Question: so both names may be used interchangeably?

THANK YOU FOR GETTING STRAIGHT TO THE NITTY 💪 and your energy is beautiful thank you for your wisdom and insight sis! 💚

I loved the way you explained all of this. Thank you.

As New Mexico doesn't require or register DBA's under LLC, does that mean DBA's can be used without registration by a LLC or DBA's are not allowed and separate LLC needs to be registered in case of New Mexico?

You are very detailed and good explanations. Thank you. You help me to understand what all this stuff means and and what is necessary and what isn’t.
