What is the name of your state? California

Is it illegal to add on to an already existing business name. i.e. Thats Entertainment (already exists) and use Thats Entertainment Inc. . I just make it into a corporation and add the inc. Need help!! thanks

Of course, that depends on what you are going to 'add on' to. If you mean you are simply going to change your d/b/a registered name without re-registration, that would not be allowed.
Nor would you be allowed to add 'Inc.' to ANY name without it being properly registered as a corporation.
