Can a division be referred to as "a company"?

Let me lay out the details:

1) I have a legal business entity (say, Business Entity LLC)

2) There are divisions within this business, each having a legal DBA (Business Group, Another Business, etc.)

Can I put "Another Business, a Business Entity LLC company" on my literature for that division? In other words, can I refer to a division as "a company", even though it's not a separate entity, or am I going to run into legal issues around the term "company"?

Update:

@Anton: That response has little to do with my question.
