LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Focus-enhancement tools marketed to students or professionals can be viewed as wellness advice — forming an LLC separates your liability. Helping students or professionals with attention-based tools benefits from the protection of an LLC, especially when scaling. Developing digital sound tools or products? Launch your LLC and give your brand the structure it needs.
