Re: Establishing a Corporation with a dba name(s)

In theory, one company (whether a corporation or an LLC) can have as many trade names as it wants. However, the names must be registered with the superior court if the owner of the trade name is not obvious. Of course, there are always potential trademark and copyright issues when choosing and using a name.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
