LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Emotion-focused creative tools and worksheets may involve mental health overlap — forming an LLC limits legal ambiguity. Selling decks or kits for low-stakes creative tasks is a product business — an LLC protects your ideas and transactions. Building reflection-focused tools or mindset kits? Form your LLC and protect your method.
