How do I sign for my LLC?

Scenario #1: You Personally Own the LLC

Your ownership structure is as follows:

• The LLC is the legal party to the contract
• The Trust is the owner / managing member  of the LLC

In this scenario, you would sign as either:

• John Doe, Manager of ACME LLC

Scenario #2: You Own the LLC via a Trust

Your ownership structure is as follows:

• The LLC is the legal party to the contract
• The Trust is the owner of the LLC

So in this scenario, you would sign as either:

• John Doe, Manager of ACME LLC, and/or

• John Doe, Trustee of ACME Agent Trust

In either case, you are the owner. It just depends who is asking you to sign and how deep they want to go through the chain of ownership.

Scenario #3: Your LLC is using a DBA

You would simply append "DBA as Bar Industries" to the end of your LLC name as follows:

• John Doe, Manager of ACME LLC, DBA as Bar Industries
