Re: Is it best to umbrella one business under another? I don't know what is the proper way, so maybe someone else can give you better information, but I can tell you that it is ONE way of doing it. You can set up an LLC or a Corp. (your umbrella business) and then DBA (Do Business As) your smaller entities. This saves you the hassle of doing an LLC or Corp every time you want to begin a new business venture (especially if you have a corp, because corps can get costly to set up and maintain). After you file DBA paperwork, you can even open bank accounts in the smaller business's names if you want.
