Make the content. Run the business behind it.
Content creator businesses look small until a sponsor needs you to sign a contract, until you get sued over a thumbnail, until your channel goes viral and the IRS notices the W-2-equivalent income. We form the LLC, file the federal trademark for your channel name, set up contracts and books, and time the S-Corp election to your scale.
Built around how content creators actually operate.
Three things you will not get from a generic formation site.
Brand trademark protection
$249 USPTO filing for your handle, channel name, or merch brand.
S-Corp tax savings
Once brand deals cross $50K, the S-Corp election starts paying for itself.
Multi-platform, one business
YouTube + TikTok + brand deals + merch all roll into one tax-clean LLC.
Built for variable income and brand-name businesses.

How customers like you use the platform.
"A model claimed I never had a release. I had it, signed and timestamped in the vault. Saved me a six-figure lawsuit."
"I tracked 80 paying subscribers in Notion until it broke. CRM auto-pulled my email history. Suddenly I could see who I had not followed up with in three months."
"CRM caught a $14,000 retainer client about to ghost. One follow-up email and we signed."
