GETTING A SD DBA VS. INCORPORATING OR FORMING AN LLC

 

WHAT IS A South Dakota DBA

A dba "Doing Business As" is just a business name certificate you are legally required to file - i.e, you need to register your SD business name and obtain a business name certificate, also called a DBA.   A DBA helps you open a bank account and be legal but it does not protect your personal assets because the business entity is still a sole owner or partnership.  A sole owner and all partners are liable for all civil or financial liability that the business incurs.

WHAT IS A South Dakota CORPORATION OR LLC

A corporation or LLC is a separate and distinct state created legal business entity - separate from its shareholders / owners.  Thus, a shareholder's / owner's assets, such as a home, personal bank account, or automobile, are not at stake if the corporation or LLC is sued and a court judgment is entered against it for civil or financial liability. 

Only the corporate or LLC assets are at stake.  If the corporation has one computer and $1,000 in a corporate bank account, that is all that can be seized.  If you register a dba and you are sued, you are liable for all business liability and creditors can go after your personal assets. Here is an example:

    Whatever name a company chooses to do business as, it 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 corporation does. It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

    Registering a trade name allows you to create stationary and open a business bank account but you are not protected from liability. E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the corporation had no assets the lender could get nothing.
