How to Change from a DBA to an LLC
- 1). Check your local Secretary of State's business directory to see if your DBA name has already been registered as an LLC in your area. Visit your local Secretary of State's website or go to the office in person if it is nearby. Choose a different name if that of your DBA already exists as an LLC.
- 2). Acquire the LLC Articles of Organization form online or in person from your local Secretary of State.
- 3). Fill out the LLC Articles of Organization form. Include the names and addresses of all DBA members or officers in the LLC form.
- 4). Submit the forms to your local Secretary of State as per his required means. Enclose the required processing fees.
- 5). Wait for a response from the Secretary of State. You will receive a signed and sealed copy of your LLC's Articles of Organization from the Secretary of State if the application is approved. The State may take up to several weeks to process your LLC Articles of Organization.
