What is a DBA for Corporations and LLCs?

A DBA (Doing Business As) allows a Corporation or LLC to operate under a name different from its legally registered business name. Whether you're launching a new product line, opening a different location, or building a new brand identity, a DBA offers flexibility without forming a new legal entity.

Example:

If your registered LLC is “Bright Future Enterprises LLC,” you can register a DBA like “Bright Future Marketing” or “Bright Tutoring Services.

Yes, if you want to legally operate under names that differ from your registered LLC or corporate name.
