Business Issue

New York

Asked on Nov 18, 2024

Can I use a different name for my business other than my legal name?

I am currently in the process of starting my own business and I am considering using a different name for my business than my own legal name. I have heard about the concept of 'Doing Business As' (DBA) and I am wondering if I am legally allowed to operate my business under a different name. I want to understand the legal requirements and implications of using a DBA, such as registering the name, potential trademark issues, and any other legal considerations I should be aware of.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

Yes, you can use a different name for your business other than your legal name through a process called "Doing Business As" (DBA), also known as a fictitious business name or trade name. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Registration: Most states require you to register your DBA with the appropriate local or state agency. 2. Legal compliance: Using a DBA allows you to operate your business and enter into contracts under that name. 3. Trademark considerations: A DBA doesn't automatically protect your business name from trademark infringement. 4. Banking: You may need to provide your DBA registration to open a business bank account. 5. Tax implications: A DBA doesn't create a separate legal entity; it's simply an alias for your business. While using a DBA can offer flexibility in branding, there are important legal considerations and potential pitfalls to navigate. The specific requirements and implications can vary depending on your location and business structure. Given the complexities involved, it would be prudent to have professional guidance to ensure you're fully compliant and protected. As an experienced business attorney, I could assist you in: 1. Determining if a DBA is the best option for your situation 2. Guiding you through the registration process 3. Addressing potential trademark issues 4. Ensuring all legal requirements are met Would you like to discuss your specific business plans and how I can ensure your DBA is set up correctly?

Dental Associate Contract

North Carolina

Asked on Jul 26, 2023

Dental associate contract practice sale clauses?

I am a dental associate looking to purchase a practice from a retiring dentist. I am in the process of reviewing the contract and have some questions about the sale clauses. I am concerned about the terms of the sale and would like to understand the implications of certain clauses in the contract.

Shelia H.

Answered Sep 1, 2023

Here are a couple of items you should pay close attention to: 1. Be clear about what you are purchasing. There should be an itemized list of personal business property. You will also want to make sure that you have included digital and intellectual property assets. For each item, you will want to make sure that there are no liens on the property and that no one else has any ownership interest in the property. 2. Be clear about any non-compete provisions that you need to have in the agreement. The last thing you want is for the seller to open a competing office or become an investor in a competing practice that's right across the street from you and have your anticipated clients move to the new practice. You need to pay particular attention to how this provision is crafted, given that there are major concerns about restrictions such as non-competes. Additionally, some states have already banned non-competes for employees who are doctors, and the Federal Trade Commission is expected to vote on new rules concerning non-competes in 2024. 3. Thoroughly research and analyze the profit and loss statements, taxes, and employment records. Make sure you understand the cash flow of the operation. It's best to consider having an accountant review all of these documents. These are just three things to think about when purchasing any business. There are many more. Hiring an experienced attorney is one of the best things that you can do to make sure that you are assessing the risks associated with the purchase.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
