Hi Everyone,

I started a corporation about a year ago and after doing tons of research, I finally found a niche to pursue.

However, that niche has a different name than the corporation.

I have read plenty about filing for a DBA name and trademark, but are there any cons to going this route?

Should I file for a subsidiary or should I dissolve the previous corporation and start a new one with the name of my business and brand?

I am concerned about potential name copy-cats...luckily I have secured the domain and social media user names. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,
MG
