When should you apply for a DBA?
Question Details:
I "started" my business 8 months ago but I took some time off. I've had a website but did not get a DBA (since I was going to school and wasn't doing anything with the business insofar as taking on any work). I did however complete work for 1 customer (business is car detailing at the customers location). Should I get a DBA now? I'm not entirely sure what to do and want to avoid legal trouble/penalties later.
Yes, you will want to secure a DBA and/or work with an attorney to form a corporation or LLC...there are many reasons to think about what form you want to conduct business.
