company name vs poetic license, sorta

[useratl]

Not sure how to ask this.

My client has acquired a new company, which has its own domain name.

Clearly, both company names have value, so the 'new' company name is somehow going to preserve both names.

Company A is FreeCookies, LLC

Company B is FreeBrownies.

I am wondering if stuff like the "LLC", and "B operating as a subsidiary of A", etc, all that legal sounding crap is required on the website. The website(s)' mission is to advertise and inform. I believe poetic license is permissible, as long as there is no deception involved.

What I mean is, I want to find more interesting, creative, less corporate ways of incorporating all the information, without using stuff like "LLC", etc. Clearly, I have no business background!!! :)

Is this acceptable? Is there any reason I have to be as specific as above? Or may I say stuff like:

FreeCookies now powered by the resources of FreeBrownies . . .

FreeCookies in association with FreeBrownies . . .

FreeCookies continues to provide free cookies, while proudly offering the resources of FreeBrownies . . .

for example . . .?

help?

You should be fine using any of the statements suggested, as long as somewhere on the website (and accessible to visitors fairly easily) are details of the actual companies, their relationship and the fact that one is a LLC.

That's my belief, but I'm a web developer, not a lawyer.
