i recently opened up a consulting business LLC but would also like to start a dba to start selling merchandise (different brand, different purpose). Applying for the DBA seems pretty straight forward but do i have to update my operating agreement or any other official document ?
Thanks for the question! Most LLC owners choose to amend their operating agreement when member responsibilities, business operations, or asset contributions change. Small changes, like branding a part of the LLC with a DBA, are generally added to a list of less significant alterations. These alterations can then be added to the operating agreement during an amendment to member responsibilities, changes in the way assets are contributed, and operations of the business. The DBA portion of an LLC doesn’t require a new EIN. Some business owners choose to open a separate bank account for the DBA name. Thanks again and best of luck to you!
I'm planning to file a DBA for my sole proprietor craft business in New York county, that being my primary location of business, but may do craft fairs, pop-ups, and/or wholesale to other counties in NY. Do I need to file a DBA form in each county where these occur? ie. each county where I may participate in a craft fair or sell wholesale? Thanks!
New York state has different DBA filing laws for sole proprietorships, general partnerships, and other incorporated entities. As a sole proprietor, you are required to register a DBA name, known as a Certificate of Assumed Name, in each county that you wish to conduct business in.

All content is exclusively provided for educational purposes. For the most up-to-date legal advice, we advise deferring to a professional attorney or certified public accountant.
We would recommend filing as an LLC, as a DBA is a legal nickname for your business. To learn about starting an LLC in New York, check out our guide: howtostartanllc.com/new-york-llc?ref=ytnydba
Where you send in your DBA form depends on what type of business you have and can also depend on what county you are doing business in. Please take a look at our New York DBA guide for instructions: howtostartanllc.com/dba/dba-new-york?ref=cc
Hi. I wanted to know if I have a LLC already for an apparel line but want expand to creating a beauty line should I file a DBA to have a second entity under my LLC? Like a parent company and a subsidiary company, would that be the way to do it?
Hi Kesh! Yes you can have multiple DBAs to separate brands within your LLC. For more information on how to do this, go to our full written guide on how they work and step by step guides on how to file: howtostartanllc.com/definition/dba
Hi Kesh! The DBA is another name for your company. Business owners usually get a DBA for their company if they decide on a better name that suits their brand or would like to have different stores with different focuses but are still technically the same company for legal and tax matters. So as for your question, you could have a subsidiary focused part of your company, but it would still be the same company technically.

@@HowtostartanllcOfficial Thank you. I am creating a separate focus but the same company. Should I create separate accounts or one account is fine? Sorry for all the Q's.
