What is the differences between sole proprietorship patnership and corporation?
* A sole proprietorship is a business consisting of one owner. That owner may be either an individual or a corporation. If the owner is an individual (who is also personally liable for all the debts of the business) and carries on business under a name other than his or her personal name, that name must be registered under The Business Names Registration Act. * A partnership is a business owned by one or more individuals or corporations (in any combination). Within a partnership, each partner is potentially liable for all debts of the partnership. If the partnership carries on business under a name, that name must be registered under The Business Names Registration Act. * A corporation is a legal entity that has a separate legal existence apart from its shareholders and directors. It is sometimes also referred to as a 'limited company'. Since it has a separate legal existence from its shareholders and directors, they are generally not personally liable for the debts of the corporation beyond the amount contributed. Although it is the shareholders which 'own' a corporation, it is the directors who manage the day-to-day operations.
Can a person be legally held responsible for not having an articles of incorporation?
Depending on the jurisdiction, if an individual is doing business under an assumed name, they are required to file a fictitious business name statement in their city or county. Again, depending on the jurisdiction, this document is required to be updated (or re-registered) on an annual or semi-annual basis. If a person is doing business as ABC Landscaping Corporation (sending out bills, creating bank accounts, entering into contracts, signing agreements, etc.) and they have not actually created a corporation (by filing Articles of Incorporation with the state), then yes, that individual can be held legally responsible for any actions that were performed using that name (ie. debt). Articles of Incorporation is a document that is filed with a state's Department of Corporations to begin doing business as a corporation. If a company is doing business as a Limited Liability Company (or LLC) the document is called Articles of Organization. These documents create a separate legal entity so that the people doing business are protected from personal liability and allow the public to find out who notify in the event of a lawsuit.

Is it possible to register a DBA and under that create an LLC or Corporation?
Your question wording doesn't really make sense. However, let me see if I can sign some light on this for you. A DBA is simply put a name for your business that is federal and state recognized. With that being said a DBA is not a type of business structure. For Example let's say your DBA is : John Smith The DBA is owned by an legal entity called: John Smith Now the entity John Smith can be a person (sole proprietor), an LLC, a corporation, a partnership, etc. Therefore, you could present yourself as the following: My name is Will Tucker I represent John Smith a legal entity doing business as (DBA) John Smith. Now a corporation can also have its own unique name and do business as a complete separate name . Therefore, it would be xyz company doing business as (DBA) abc company
