Small Business DBA Registration?

I want to start my own LLC in Colorado. My DBA name will be different from my actual name. Do I need to register my DBA before I start filing for business/tax licenses and before I file my LLC with the state? I'm a little confused about where DBA registration happens in the business creation sequence.

    Very good question: DBA (Doing Business As) The actual name will be the primary business name. Any business name you create under the primary name are considered subs. You can create as many subs as you wish. All the names has to be registered. Why would one want to create a DBA?

    By doing this you can limit costs, there are some tax advantages and you can protect personal assets. You want the actual name to remain as the primary business. If any of the subs should go away then the primary business still remains.
