    dba means doing business as

    most all corporations are DBAs.

    legal difference; syllogism

    all DBAs mean the org; either a proprietorship, partnership, LLC or CORP is named for other than the

    founder. Meaning, the founder's last name is not the name of the corp or..........

    a corp is a legal state entity. Filing papers are necessary and a legal filing to see if anyone else has this

    name or has a complaint about this name but mainly it is meant to say "if you ever have a legal problem with this

    firm, its legal agent is........."

    a DBA does not have to do that.

    a DBA just means, regardless of the org structure, it is not the name of the founder.

    An LLC is a restricted criminal duty corporation. it really is actual a criminal entity, known by the state, it truly is break away its vendors. It protects its individuals from criminal duty to a particular quantity. on the different hand, a dba isn't called break away the guy dba the corporation, so if the corporation is sued, the guy might want to be completely responsible.
