LLC Name and Business License
Asked by: Richard - 21 March, 2011
Does my business license have to match my LLC Name

Dear Richard,
The general rule is, if you are doing business under a name other than the name of your company, you have to register your new name as a fictitious name (often called a DBA). Therefore, if you are getting a business license under a different name, first register that name as your company's DBA.
