Signing as an individual for a company
Signing as an individual for a company
(OP)
I run a solo niche civil engineering business and recently set up an LLC. I perform engineering in multiple states and I am looking at how best to do this in the short term until I get COA's in every state I work in (my current states allow for an individual to practice in their own name without a COA). I am also working on branding with my newly formed company.
Question: Can I put my company information and logo on drawings, but still sign the drawings as a sole proprietor in my own name? How do I best show that on my drawings so I do not run into an regulatory issues?

A case in point; I had a project for an auto manufacturer and in it, I excluded consequential damages because if I had left it, no one would have bid the job. I sent it on to their legal department. During the project DB, due to a problem, shut down the line for 14 minutes. They want to bill DB for several hundred thousand dollars, and were disappointed that consequential damages were not included in the contract. Fortunately, their legal department had vetted the contract.
Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

If you've already transitioned your insurance, check with your carrier and make sure they'll still cover "LOTE, PE" if the policy documents now say "LOTE's Engineering Emporium, LLC".

What's the rationale for that? It it to protect the companies from getting sued? The stamp is, by definition, a personal liability, so I would have thought the company was essentially irrelevant in that aspect.

Many states go so far as making it illegal to have Engineering your company name if you don't have a valid COA.
