Why should I get an LLC?

An LLC protects your personal finances, legitimizes your business, and helps you take control of your taxes.

If you’re earning money on your own—freelancing, consulting, coaching, creating—it’s time to make it official. And that starts with an LLC.

Here’s why it matters:

  • Protect yourself: An LLC separates your personal assets from your business. That means if anything goes wrong, your savings, car, and home stay protected.

  • Look legit: Platforms, brands, and clients trust registered businesses. An LLC makes it easier to work with big companies and charge more.

  • Take control of your taxes: Once you have an LLC, WorkMade can help you write off more, automate your taxes, and open a dedicated business account.

You don’t need to be making six figures. You just need to make it official—and WorkMade will handle the rest.
