Single Member LLC suing a DBA

Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community, dvdgarofalo. Once setting up a limited liability company, you are essentially creating a separate legal entity. Since it is a legal entity, you are afforded personal liability protection. However, this protection is not guaranteed, and liability protection is limited. I encourage you to consult with your accountant to see what is the best fit for your business. If you don't have one, Intuit has an awesome tool called Find an Accountant. Simply enter your zip code, and connect with certified experts within your area. I recommend checking out these articles about understanding the corporate veil in more detail.
