Changing our Business name, but keeping our Brand name

We decided to change the Company name to an LLC.

Can we still keep our Brand name?

and if so, what are the Pros and Cons when doing this?

TIA.

Just like this, without searching if this will pose a problem? An Amazon seller account is like the driver's license: you cannot just change the name because you like it! Changing the "Legal Entity" is equal to transfering an account and that is not allowed.

Of course, the system is accepting it now. But for each re-verification your initial "Legal Entity" will show up. At some moment you will have a problem and your account will be deactivated. You will not get your money because in the meantime your bank account is on the name of the LLC but the "Legal Entity" will show up as a private person. The system will detect this mismatch and suspend your account.

The correct way of doing is selling all your inventory, wait 90 days, close the account, wait 10 days, create a new seller account with another email address.
