Common Misconceptions About DBAs
There are several misconceptions about DBAs that need clarification:
- Legal Entity vs Operational Name: A DBA does not create a new legal entity; it merely allows you to operate under another name without additional legal protections.
- Liability Concerns: Using a DBA does not change your liability status; it remains tied to the underlying legal entity (in this case, the LLC).
- Tax Implications: The tax implications remain tied to how you've structured your business entity (LLC). A DBA does not affect taxation directly.
