LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Products related to mental clarity and performance expectations may create liability — protect yourself with an LLC early on. Selling digital tools aimed at mental focus or clarity? An LLC helps manage revenue and limits personal exposure to claims. Offering structure-based printables or journals? Turn your shop into a real business with an LLC.
