I am going to be incorporating in Nevada. The company will have several websites, all of which will have their own DBAs.

Our office is going to be located in Pennsylvania. I will be getting a ''Certificate of Authority'' to qualify the Corporation to do business in Pennsylvania, but still remain bound and protected by Nevada laws.

The DBAs for each website will only exist and be advertised on the web. The office lease will be in the Nevada Corporation''s name (which will be qualified to do business in Pennsylvania). The bank accounts and assets will also be in the Corporation''s name.

The only thing that will be in the name of the DBAs will be their respective merchant accounts to collect payment (which will then deposit into the main Corporation''s bank account).

Where should I register my DBAs? Nevada or Pennsylvania?

Thanks!

Because the DBAs are only for websites and will not have a presence in Pennsylvania (I assume you don't store and ship items from Penn or anything similar through the websites), I would register the DBAs with the Nevada Secretary of State.
