What is the name of your state? KY
I recently purchased the assets to a tanning salon, and at the last minute, the seller wanted another $3K for the name/logo purchase. I declined, and he said I could have another 30 days to decide if I change my mind. It should have been part of the asset purchase, in my opinion, but you live and learn. The LLC name I use is very similar to what his DBA/fictitious name was, but I was given the OK by the Sec. of State for my LLC and registered with the County also, doing business as a tanning salon (just as he was). My question is, does he have any legal right to say I cannot use my name and a NEW logo, without "purchasing" the existing one? I plan to change the "font" on the sign, and a new logo.
His DBA was "The (tanning salon name)", and my business name is "The NEW (tanning salon name), LLC."
Thanks in advance.
Again, I purchased the assets (beds, computers, furniture, clients/memberships, etc.) but not his Corp.
