Incorporation and Business Setup
Should Writers Incorporate or Create an LLC?
The real answer to that question is “Why do you need to?”
That is, why do you want to incorporate or create an LLC? Is it to protect your personal assets from lawsuits and claims? Are you looking to save money on your writing-related taxable income? Or are you trying to legitimize your freelancing business?
These are all good questions to ask, and the answers will vary from writer to writer. But for the most part, writers who earn less than $50,000 a year should probably avoid incorporating or creating an LLC.

Insurance
The future of work looks different.
Benefits should, too.
The relationship between employers and employees is changing. Multiple jobs at once, side hustles, and full-time freelancing mean more and more of us aren’t served by existing models.
Staying secure is an impossible task of slogging through disconnected, outdated systems to patch together a sad quilt of coverage. We think you deserve better.
So we’re redesigning benefits for the people.
At Catch, we believe you shouldn’t need to be a financial genius to understand what you need and how to get it.
We’re building a personal benefits platform with you at the center. A way to handle taxes, retirement, time off, health insurance, and student loan refinancing — all in one place.
We believe the freedom to work how you want should be met with the power to tame volatility. We want to offer stable footing for everyone, regardless of circumstance.
Because life is about more than money.
You deserve security, confidence, and the freedom to take risks. You deserve to live life on your terms. We’re here to make that a reality.
