Running several business's, best options?
I will be running 3 different websites, I was going to start an LLC.

So do i need to register the llc as my business and then just each business/website would be a part of that llc, and would each one just be a dba? and if so, could i protect that dba like a regular business name with a trademark?

or do i just register and 3 different sole props, just trying to figure out what i need to do.

if my business names are AAA , BBB, and CCC, do i just form any business name for my llc and then just put those under that? ABC LLC> aaa,bbb,ccc?

thanks

There are several advantages to forming the LLC and filing DBAs for the different sites. However, you are the only one that should decide what is best for you and your business. If you need specific advice, I suggest you consult a lawyer versed in business law ... or at least an accountant that can guide you ... What works for me may not work, or even suit, you.

thanks but if i had the money to consult a lawyer i would, im sorry but i am done with these forums. please don't reply if you are trying to comment directly back to me i will not be looking at these forums anymore.

please if you are here to help, don't give generic answers. there is a reason why people come to forums for help.

Since mikej2009 isn't coming back, this is for anyone else that might read this thread:

Help is one thing, legal advice is another matter entirely.

Would you ask a plumber why you were having chest pains or a carpenter what sort of medication you should take for an infection?

Well ... you might. But the answers you get might not be up to par.

I am not a lawyer and do not dispense legal advice.
