In this case you might call the entity ABC Enterprises, LLC.  If you want to conduct business using other names, you must file an assumed name (or D.B.A. doing Business as).  This is sometimes regulated by the state, but usually the county you live in.  Call you county clerks office to check on this.\n\nYou could then have several assumed names doing different things, all under the umberall of ABC Enterprises, LLC\n\nABC Shipping\nABC Shopping\nABC Whatever\n\nThis would save you money, as DBA filings are cheap vs LLC filings expensive.
