Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: LLC Subsidiary/Business Name

I would recommend speaking with a lawyer before you make one business a subsidiary of another. It may be better to keep the two businesses separate. Also, your current business may have liabilities that you do not want to expose your new business to. You are able to change the name of an LLC if you desire to do so by filing the appropriate paperwork with the state. Please feel free to contact my office if we can provide any assistance in this matter.

Re: LLC Subsidiary/Business Name

Probably yes (depending on what the Articles of Organization for your current LLC say), and yes (changing the name is a simple process, but NYS takes its own sweet time in changing the name of any entity).

Please contact me if you need further help with this matter.

Re: LLC Subsidiary/Business Name

It is possible to do either one. You can create a DBA (doing business as) under your current LLC or you can file a business Name Change. Either one would necessitate a fil;ing w/ NYS. This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
