Make the work. Protect the business.
Photography, videography, and design businesses need LLC protection, model releases that actually hold up, copyright registration on portfolio work, and a CRM that does not break at 40 clients.
Built around how photographers actually operate.
Three things you will not get from a generic formation site.
Liability shield for shoots
LLC keeps a model release dispute from reaching your personal assets.
DBA for your studio name
Operate as "Smith Studios" while owning a tax-clean LLC behind the scenes.
Accounting partner referrals
Connected to bookkeepers who actually know Schedule C and creative-business deductions.
Built for client-volume businesses.
From first client to professional practice.
Form the LLC, get the EIN, file BOI. The LLC is the foundation of every other protection.
Business bank account. Branded invoicing with Stripe.
Model release, photography services agreement, licensing terms customized to your practice.
Gear insurance for your kit. General liability for venues that require it.
Inquiries land in CRM. Booked clients move through workflow. Repeat clients re-engaged.
Federal trademark protects you from copycats and lets you enforce in court.
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 went from sole prop to LLC after a tripod hit a guest at a venue. My personal car was at risk; not anymore."
"CRM caught a $14,000 retainer client about to ghost. One follow-up email and we signed."

File with the authority
We submit directly to the state Secretary of State, FinCEN, IRS, USPTO, or whichever authority your filing requires. We pay state fees at cost and track the submission identifier in your account.
