Hello all,

I am dealing with a new business I am attempting to bring on board with my bank. For reference with will say this business name, per the EIN letter is "Trust Management Services", below that name it states a partnership has ownership of Trust Management Services. From this point I was given VA SCC filing that showed another entity name and Article conversion from TMS to this new name, let's call this West 116 LLC. The TMS entity is not dissolved, the company simply filed at West 116 LLC to be able to file with the SCC, as the TMS name may have indicated commercial services.

At this point, I wonder how I would need to establish this entity in our system. Should I list them as West 116 LLC or match the EIN letter? I am rather certain as a bank we can be fined if the name does not match an EIN letter. Also, if they choose to go the route of West 116 LLC, can they obtain a state certificate of fictious name stating they operate as the TMS entity?

I am sorry for the lengthy first post but I am glad to be welcomed on board.
