protect your brand

With a trademark lawyer who understands your business
Anchor 2
Your LLC Doesn't Protect Your Brand Name.

But this will.

Like many successful founders, you may have thought your LLC secured ownership of your brand name.

It doesn’t—and neither do:

❌ Social media handles
❌ Domains
❌ DBAs
❌ EINs
❌ Name reservations

❌ Logos or graphics you paid a designer for
❌ Business licenses

❌ Brand kits

     and the list goes on...

Your LLC protects you from your business’s liabilities.


A federal trademark protects your brand—giving you exclusive rights to your name, logo, slogan, and more nationwide.


Two different protections—both essential if you want to scale with confidence.

Here's what actually protects your brand:​
