I currently run a website design business as a sole proprietor. I have a DBA and collect money via paypal. If I decide to start similar or related web businesses with different website names but I still collect all money with the original paypal account, do I have to register a DBA for each new website?

The bigger question in this situation is if you should take the next step and form an LLC or Corp for your business. In fact a separate LLC or Corp would be beneficial to you for each of your different companies. The content on this post does not constitute legal advice.
