Hello there,
I need some guidance. A few months ago, I talked to two established businesses about curating vinyl records to sell within a room or spot in their shops. It seems like the best way to go is setting up an llc.
And then do I set up two DBA’s to distinguish the two?
Do I need liability insurance?

After that, I was approached by a very very small book publisher asking if I’d like to acquire the rights to the company, and I said yes. Can this also operate under my established llc? It already has a name, will I be able to get it transferred to me?

Thanks in advance!
