What would be the appropriate filing order for the following:

The Lake Doctors, Inc.
L & K Building Maintenance

Single letters are filed first.

L& K would be first.

My confusion is the following:

L & K
Lake Doctors, Inc. The

Isn't L & K considered as one name in alphabetizing? If so, then wouldn't the "&" be spelled out for alphabetizing purposes (L and K)? If so, then wouldn't Lake come before L and K?

No

Thank you for your illuminating answer.
