Legal Question in Business Law in New York

What you need technically is called an "assumed name". These are filed via the NYS Dept of State, Division of Corporations. You can have unlimited assumed names but there are fees involved.

As a Franchise Attorney I think you may be confused about a DBA. A Doing Business As (DBA) is only used when, in your case, the LLC is doing business under a name that is different that the LLC's name. For example, JonesPeterson, LLC doing business as ThriftyNifty. If the LLC is simply doing business under it's own name, no DBA filings are needed. Also a bank account can be easily established under the LLC's name simply by bringing the LLC formation documents to your bank. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
