LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Distributing worksheets or guides to promote drawing, creativity, or clarity is content publishing — an LLC limits your exposure. Distributing drawing worksheets or design tools for creativity should be done under an LLC for content and client safety. Creating printable planners or weekly organizers?
