    Thank you so much for the excellent explanation of exactly what I was looking for. I recently formed an LLC and then four d/b/a’s under the LLC. since I was operating and branding specialty services. After viewing your video, I feel I did everything right. I appreciate your time making this presentation. Thank you!

    Hello, great video just like the other ones on your channel. HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE: I have more than 30 years of Accounting experience. It is a good practice for ALL businesses, including sole proprietorships, to have their own bank accounts. If the business owner uses their personal bank account for business expenses, then they would need to go through all of the transactions every month to let their bookkeeper, accountant or tax preparer know which transactions are business vs. personal. That's called comingling funds, and that's definitely a NO-NO. Please talk to the team that does your monthly accounting.☺☺☺Other than that, great content. Thanks!

      Aiden covers all that in her other videos. The personal never mingles. What she's discussing here is comingling of DBA accounting and bank accounts or not is your personal choice. Doesn't sound good to me, but she says it's all LLC business, so it's not legally required. Her content was 100% great since she never went where you thought you heard her go. Good news, right? Been following her for a long time and she never steers me wrong. Just adding a couple DBAs under my LLC today and had to check here, first!

    So the LLC is the parent company and the dba is the offspring of the company and the parent is legally responsible for the offspring in the business? So since it is one entity are you only allowed a line of funds for the parent company or could you get a line of funds in the dba name

Also, is there a need for three different business licenses because they all have brands and services, or can it just be one business license since both 'Fuji' and 'Red Delicious' are under 'Big Apple'.

    I am confused. WHen you're signing something as a DBA how willt hey know that it's an LLC? Is it up to them to look it up? If your marketing material doesn't list LLC, how will they know. Can a LLC just use the name of the business minus the LLC part? And if so, do they need to register that as a DBA. "Ex: Maple Lollipop LLC". Can they just sign as Maple Lollipop (dropping the LLC part without getting a DBA)

If renting/doing business, that requires registering in the state where that business transacts, yes (let's say MI)?...but would that DBA suffice?
