Does Your LLC Name Matter?
Yes, your LLC name matters. Consider these points:
- Avoid using your own name unless you are a sole proprietor or professional
- Choose a memorable and appropriate name for your business
If you operate under the LLC or corporate name, a DBA is not required. But if you want a different public name, file a DBA. The LLC name does not have to match your website. It’s the legal name, while the business name markets to customers.
You need an original LLC name in California not used by another company. Check if a name is taken by searching the Secretary of State’s website. If there are results, choose a different name.
