Business Setup

Getting your business legally set up before you scale it.

Many new sellers start on a marketplace before their business is properly registered. We connect clients with trusted formation partners to get an LLC set up correctly — a foundational step before scaling ad spend or applying for Brand Registry.

Why it matters

Scaling on an unregistered business creates real risk

Selling as an individual instead of a registered entity exposes personal assets to business liability, and can complicate Brand Registry, trademark filing and even basic banking as revenue grows. It's a fixable problem, but easier to fix on day one than after a year of commingled records.

No, you can sell as an individual, but an LLC is strongly recommended once you're generating meaningful revenue, for liability protection and to simplify Brand Registry and trademark applications.
It varies by state, typically 1–3 weeks for standard processing, faster with expedited filing in most states.
