To add a DBA to an LLC, you'll need to follow a few simple steps. First, you'll need to check if your state requires a DBA registration. If it does, you'll need to file a DBA application with your state's business filing office. Next, you'll need to prepare your DBA application by gathering the necessary documents and information. This includes your LLC's articles of organization, your LLC's operating agreement, and your LLC's tax ID number. Once you have all of the necessary documents and information, you can file your DBA application with your state's business filing office. After your DBA application is approved, you'll need to publish a notice of your DBA in a local newspaper. This is usually done by sending a notice to the newspaper and paying a fee. Finally, you'll need to file a certificate of assumed name with your state's business filing office. This certificate will confirm that your LLC is doing business under the assumed name. By following these steps, you can add a DBA to your LLC and start doing business under a new name.
