# Naming Your DAO LLC & DBA (Doing Business As)

## Reserving a DAO LLC Name

* DAO LLCs can reserve their name when registering or can optionally reserve a name pre-registration for six months for a deposit of $1,000 USD.

## Nomenclature

* Every DAO LLC must have “DAO LLC” at the end of the entity name. Some DAOs prefer not to leave a space between the end of the DAO name and the start of DAO LLC, which is also acceptable. For example: “MIDAO LLC” vs. “MI DAO LLC.”

## Using a Business Name Other Than the Incorporation Name

* You can "DBA" or “Do Business As” a different name, or “trade as” any name you want. It is up to the DAO LLC to ensure that its legal name is used in legal documents/agreements when appropriate or necessary for the situation.
