COMMON MISTAKES

Underpricing sessions, failing to define outcomes clearly, and offering advice beyond expertise without disclaimers.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

If you're offering paid voice coaching services, forming an LLC helps reduce liability, especially if working with minors or handling bookings for others. As a coach, you could face claims around outcomes or advice - an LLC separates your personal assets from your business. Editing books or blogs? It’s time to protect your income stream with an LLC of your own.
