LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Handmade goods like candles come with potential liability (e.g., fire hazard or allergic reactions). An LLC is an important safety net even if you're selling small-batch. Craft-based businesses like handmade candles should use an LLC to protect against liability from product defects or shipping damage. Selling handmade goods? Form an LLC and bring professionalism to your store and peace of mind to your operations.
