how hard is it to file a DBA yourself?

[ferg2001]

superfucking easy. fill out a short form at the county clerks office and you are done.

I just completed the LLC thing this week. My cousin is a CPA and did all the paperwork. She suggested an LLC due to all the tax codes and liabilities and such.

I actually just got my articles of organization back from the secretary of state for my LLC two days ago. I did the entire thing through www.legalzoom.com since you answer some generic questions when applying and, through that, they generate a custom operating agreement for you.

The DBA is super-easy like ferg said -- just fill out a quick form at the county clerks office (bring your employers identification number & articles of incorporation/organization) and also you have to file it for 4-6 weeks (i assume it varies depending on the state/county?) in a local newspaper. When i did this there were lotza dudes outside the county clerk's office just soliciting this type of service for ppl filing fictitious business licenses.

Good luck!

ok ive got an EIN, do i need articles of incorporation/organization if it's a sole propreitorship?

[Naero]

As a sole proprietorship you don't need an EIN unless you have employees -- generally the sole owner, you, would use your personal SS# (instead of an EIN) to reference your business. But if you've already got one you're ahead of the game...

As far as articles of organization/incorporation -- these are only needed for LLCs and corporations, respectively. The major benefit of starting a sole proprietorship as opposed to an LLC or corporation is that you don't have as much red-tape (forms, legalities, etc.) and fees associated with running one. However, you won't get the liability or tax perks either.

You'll still need to file the necessary DBAs, get a city/county tax registration certificate, and a business license/seller's permit as applicable.

Hope this helps...
