No. A DBA is only a name registration. It doesn't create a separate legal entity, so it doesn't shield your personal assets. If you want liability protection, you'll want to form an LLC or corporation first, then optionally file a DBA on top.
It depends on the state. Some DBAs are good for 5 years, others 10. A few states require annual renewal. We'll tell you the rules for your specific filing.
Yes. One LLC or corporation can register multiple DBAs to run different brands or product lines under one legal entity. Each DBA is filed separately.
File a DBA in minutes — we'll handle the paperwork, fees, and publication requirements.
