LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Offering paid coaching services — especially if recorded or published — puts your advice on the record. An LLC helps reduce personal liability and sets up proper billing. As a voice acting coach, forming an LLC adds professionalism to your brand and separates personal liability from business operations. Freelance editing is more than a gig—treat it like a business. Start your LLC and protect your work.
