There are several reasons for doing business as a corporation. Most come down to taxes and limitation of liability. If you go under your husbands LLC, you can save money in not having to redo the initial filings, and simplify the taxes. But, if one DBA incurs a debt, it can be collected against the other.

Yiy should consult direvtly with an attorney and an accountant, before deciding how to structure your new business.

Good luck
