Help, I started and set up QB with one legal name on day 1 however on day 2 need to change it and QB won't let me. Do I have to start a new company with them?

Help has arrived, @privatemarkhasti. I’m here to help so you can successfully change your legal name within QuickBooks.

Did you face any errors while changing your legal name? This will help me identify the issue and provide an accurate solution.

In QuickBooks Online, you don't need to create a new company to update legal information like a business name. It only takes a few easy steps. You can follow the instructions outlined below to accomplish it:

1. Open your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to the Gear icon at the top right and select Account and Settings under Your Company.
3. Click on the Company tab.
4. Look for the Company name section and click the Pencil icon to edit it.
5. Update the legal name to the new one. 
6. Click Save and Done.
   

Please know that there are several places you need to update after making changes to your business info. The program won't automatically correct everything, so you'll want to edit them manually. See this guide for complete details: Change your business name, contact info, or EIN in QuickBooks Online.
