Yes, you can add a DBA to an LLC. In fact, most states require you to register a DBA if your LLC is doing business under a different trade name. You can do this with a corporation as well.
Please note this is not a “new entity” filing. This is a service for entrepreneurs who have already incorporated. This lets entrepreneurs with multiple business names under one corporate umbrella who want to provide public notice that their business name is actually incorporated under a different name. It is also possible to have a DBA without being incorporated, but in that case, you will not have the corporate protection of an entity. If you wish to be “unincorporated” and just have a tradename as a “sole proprietor” we can also assist. This saves the cost of incorporating, but it provides no asset protection if you are not already incorporated.
Multiple DBAs can be issued if there are multiple trade names, though a DBA is not sufficient to change the name of the entity where an amendment would be needed instead. There is no limit for how many DBAs a parent company may be assigned.
