Making a "division" in an incorporation

Hi there! I incorporated my graphic design business in 2008. I also have a collaboration of other marketing professionals I team up with, and since then, formed another "branch," so to speak, of my corporation. This branch has it's own unique name and is marketed to a different group of potential clients than my main company.

I would like this to be a "division" or "branch" which will fall under the umbrella of my corporation.

How do I make this legal and do I need a DBA for the "division/branch?"

Many thanks for any help!

Kym

Making a "division" in an incorporation, Welcome Kym

It is SO hard to give GOOD advice when I only know part of the picture.

Go to Members page and share some info about yourself and your company.

Everybody in business should have a Lawyer and an accountant. Ask them,

Right. I'm just trying to educate myself before meeting with the attorney. I'm compiling a list of questions and researching answers, so I can speak somewhat intelligently about all of this. Thanks!

well you can do it one of 2 ways. One would be filing DBA under your corporations, and know that is anything were to happen with this company, either by being sued, breaching a contract ect.. Your corporation will be liable. or 2, you create a new corporation and have your existing corporation be a shareholder. This way if anything happens with one corporation it will not affect the other.
