It’s super exciting to look at your business and realize,
Whoa. Things are going really well.
When you hit this point, it’s time to intentionally start plotting your next steps.
The things that will:
- help you continue to build your business
- protect your family’s future
- allow you to step into the role of CEO or Creative Director, rather than wearing all the hats
And one of these investments might be becoming an LLC.
But making the decision to become an LLC is only the first step. After you decide, you have to create your LLC.
So you give up an afternoon in your studio to learn how to get an LLC.
You quickly get lost in a rabbit hole of legal jargon, information for other states, or information for business with investors or multiple owners.
Needless to say, you quickly get frustrated and open up Instagram and double-tap some pretty pictures.
You tell yourself you’ll figure it out later, but you repeat this process, week after week (or maybe month after month).
It can be overwhelming to create an LLC
What if instead of going at it alone, you had:
- peace of mind that you knew exactly what to do and how to do it
- access to links and information specific on how to create an LLC in your state
- clarity on what’s expected of an LLC
- a mentor who *gets* creative businesses like yours to guide you through the process
During this course, I’ll guide you as you create your LLC from start to finish.
Best of all, you’ll control the pace. You’ll tackle each assignment as you have time. And there is no such thing as “falling behind.”
You’ll also have the support of a community of fellow creative business owners (+ me!). So you can ask questions, get help, and bust through any roadblocks or challenges you encounter.
You can confidently create your LLC without sacrificing studio time or thousands of dollars.
In this course you’ll:
- pick the right LLC home state saving you money and headaches down the road
- pick the best LLC name helping you avoid a nasty lawyer letter and extra legal red-tape
- file your LLC paperwork and comply with all the necessary steps to bring your LLC to life
- think through scenarios that might cause your LLC to change making decisions you and your loved ones will thank you for later
- create a schedule to keep your LLC “too legit to quit” for years to come allowing you to focus on the important things, not legal red-tape
- learn common pitfalls that can eliminate your LLC status preventing your LLC from being moot when you need it most
TL; DR: You’ll get an easy-to-follow plan plus all the tools and resources you need to create your LLC (and keep it legit).
Here’s what other creatives are saying…
Does the idea of creating an LLC intimidate you? Are you not sure you can really do it? Each of these creatives had these same fears and they now have LLCs!
I left with clarity on LLC expectations and where I needed to go from here.
I knew I wanted to become an LLC, but I didn’t have any idea where to start or where to find information for my state. Kiffanie’s course gave me peace of mind on what I needed to do. I left with clarity on what expectations came along with becoming an LLC and where I needed to go from here.

Maker-IllustratorAn awesome and empowering experience
I was a little intimidated when I started. But by the end, it was an awesome and empowering experience. Kiffanie’s lessons are really well-executed baby steps that made everything seem doable.

ArtistI submitted my LLC application that weekend and now I’m an LLC!
I didn’t think an LLC was necessary since I’m just starting out and not making much money. But my husband was worried about protecting our personal finances. Kiffanie’s course was exactly what I needed. I got worksheets, information for my state, and an easy-to-follow plan. I submitted my LLC application that weekend and now I’m an LLC!

ArtistThe fog around legal business issues is clearing.
The course is wonderful. The legal tasks are broken down into natural, doable steps accompanied by clear explanations. It’s more than just a resource that breaks down legal information; it is a resource for navigating the many facets of starting and running a small business or working as a freelancer in a creative field.

30 Day No Questions Asked Refund Policy
Hype and promises abound on the Internet. And if I were in your shoes, I’d be wary too.
This is why I’m going to put a little skin in the game.
If within the first 30 days, you decide that the artist’s Courtyard isn’t the right place to help you build a strong foundation, I’ll refund your payment.
No hoops to jump through, no worksheets to submit, no screenshots of how you participated. You just need to let me know and I’ll refund you, without any fuss.
What formats are the materials in?
The course materials are a mix of closed-captioned video and text.
All of the content is available within the artist’s Courtyard community, so you’ll have 24/7 access to it. Additionally, some of the materials are available as Google Docs and PDFs so you can save them and work on them off-line.
Which option should I pick?
The standalone version is designed for those that don’t like monthly subscriptions, only have the bandwidth to focus on this specific topic, or already have an attorney helping them with other areas of their creative business.
