LLC vs Corporation vs DBA Sole Proprietor vs Partnership An LLC, a corporation and a sole proprietor are all business legal entities. They are designated as such because depending on the structure of the entity, a different tax system applies and the liabilities, powers, rights and duties of the owners of these business entities change. For example, a sole propritorship owner has all the liability for taxes and civil as well debt liability for the business. An LLC member owner, on the other hand is not liable personally for business taxes and or debts. Here is what the differences are among these business legal structures. Sole Proprietor vs Corporation The corporation clearly has the advantage because its owners do not have personal liability for debts etc. A sole propritor has the right for all profits of the business but also all the liabilities for taxes etc. A corporate owner shareholder is not personally liable. For example, In 2012, Johann Gutenburg decides to use his invention, the press, to print and sell newspapers with news about the Arab spring, Assad, and Israel. He files a DBA fictitious business name and gets a business license. That makes him a sole proprietor because he did not form an LLC or incorporated. If he, like Murdoch, Britains phone-hacking scandal that erupted last July after it emerged that journalists at Rupert Murdochs News of the World routinely eavesdropped on cellphones voicemail, gets in similar trouble, he will be liable because he is a sole owner and has 100% liability. On the other hand, if he incorporated, he would not be personally liable for the actions of journalists, though he would be for his personal intentioanal wrongful acts. The corporation would be liable and if the corporation has no assets, his judgment holders cannot sue him personally to seize his printing presses so long as the presses are under his personal name. Sole Proprietor vs LLC An LLC, in addition, to being a superior new state created entity, it is also superior to a sole proprietorship set up. The situation is the same as above. I.e., Sole Proprietor vs Corporation. The difference is that with an LLC, owners can treat it as a sole proprietorship and still get the benefits of corporate protection. The price to file an LLC may be a bit more expensive – perhaps about $50 to $100 dollars more than setting up a sole proprietorship. Sole Proprietor vs Partnership A sole owner is 100% liable for business liabilities; a partner in a partnership, is also 100% liable for all business liabilities but he shares that liability with all partners. LLC vs Incorporation Both an LLC and a corporation are corporate entities and afford many tax and liability protections for its owners. The LLC, however, is a more flexible entity in the sense that it can be treated as a partnership, or sole proprietorship. With a corporation, you will need to keep corporate records such as annual meeting and other paperwork, while with an LLC no such requirement exist and you still have the same corporate protections vs business liabilities for taxes and or wrongs committed during business transactons. ? What is a DBA? DBA stands for Doing Business As. It is an abbreviation for a business name or trade name. So, if my business name is "The 3 Maskateers," this name would be my doing business as name, namely the DBA. Hence, the saying, if you have a trade name, you will need to register it with a DBA certificate. What is a DBA form? A DBA form contains information about a trade name of a business at a certain address. For example, if your business name is Beauty and the Bistro for your bistro business, that name must be registered on a DBA certificate that is called a DBA certificate or a fictitious business name certificate. Why Do I Need to File a DBA? This is because a trade name is something not real, and thus fictitious that you thought out of your own mind. So, since it is a name that you trade under, you must registered to make it official and the public can search and find out who that trade name belongs to and who filed the form under what address. Should I Start My Business Now? Start your business today. Whatever you can conceive, you can achieve. Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches – Napoleon Hill DBA DBA stands for “doing business as”. This means that, for example, if you are a small business owner and you name your business “Ultra A1 Clothing Fashions,” that name is a “doing business as,” name. The DBA is a fictitious business name also called an assumed business name or fictitious firm name. When you hear, you need a DBA filing; it means that you need to register your business name with a fictitious business name certificate. That filing may require legal newspaper publication, as well as filing proof of that publication. On this site, as of 8/22/12, the price to file a DBA starts at $119 and it includes all of the above: namely, the filing, the publication, the proof, and notarization, if required.

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


Q: Should I consider forming an LLC?

A: If you want more business credibility in the business market, you may want to form an LLC instead of a DBA. For example, if your trade name is. deas XYZtch , Inc.Co. requires a fictitious business name registration, which also requires a fee to be registered.

Registering a fictitious business name does not protect that name nor does it protect the business owner from personal liability related to business actions as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) does. Our recommendation that since you need to pay a fee to register the business name, simply form a limited liability company (LLC) for a similar fee and get both corporate status and protection for the name as well as personal liabilities.

So, for instance, if someone slips and falls in your business premises, they can sue you personally if you are not a limited liability company (LLC).

Also, consider the prestige that a limited liability company (LLC) affords. Is a name like John's Transmissiona shop better than AEMCOO TRANS, LLC?

Q: I am just one person. Do I Need an LLC?
A: Even if you are just one person owner, you can form an LLC (Limited Liabiliity Company).

Q: Do I need an EIN for my LLC?
A: Yes, you will need an EIN for your LLC to do your LLC taxes and open an LLC bank account.

Q: Do I need to file a DBA if I form an LLC?
A: If you form an LLC and you do business as the LLC name, you don't need a DBA. For example, your LLC name is "Ultra Super LLC," and your business name is "Ultra Super LLC," you don't need to file a DBA.

Q: If I set up an LLC, will the LLC help me protect my business LLC from creditors?
A: Yes, actually, only an LLC can help you protect the LLC from its creditors especially if you have another partner member owner in that LLC.

Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?
A:

Q: How do I build credit under my LLC business?
A: Start by applying for a line of credit for your LLC from your bank if you already have some personal credit.
