DBA FAQs

If I have a corporation or an LLC name, do I also have to file a DBA under that name as well?

No. DBA filings are only required if you are operating a corporation or LLC under a name other than its legal name as filed with the state.

The articles of incorporation or organization are enough for official name registration and business name transactions with financial institutions provided the entity uses its legal name. A DBA is simply a name statement registered with the state and not an official business formation like a corporation or an LLC.
