My business name

[nate_f2]

If I wanted my company name to be ,something enterprises but I was set up as a LLC would I have to register as a name with LLC on the end? Thats doesn't flow.

I found the answer if you are registered as an LLC then LLC must be included at the end of your DBA

That is correct. Now, a DBA is something a little different though. If you form a business entity as an LLC, then yes, it must have LLC or some variation (in accordance with your states laws) at the end of it. You CAN have a DBA that is operated under an LLC or other type of corp (again, in accordance with your states laws). For example, lets say you want your business name to be "Big Box", but you only have it formed as an LLC (therefore having to refer to it as "Big Box, LLC" in all your documents), you can get a seperate DBA and have it as such: "Big Box, LLC, DBA Big Box". So now you can validly refer to the business as simply "Big Box" on documents, advertising, etc. but again, check with your state. This is how it works in almighty Texas.
