If we create a C-corp business, e.g. ABC Widgets, Inc but then create a DBA in a person's name, e.g. Jane Doe, DBA ABC Widgets, Inc, does Jane Doe also benefit from the liability protection of ABC Widgets, Inc? Would Jane incur any personal liability from this type of business structure?

It does not create a separate legal entity from the owner of the business. In the case of your example, if Jane Doe creates a... View More
