When I started Tiny Hiney Business it was really just to make things for me and my boys (blankets, pillow, stuff for cloth diapers, cute clothes, etc.). I had gotten a machine for free through a special at my my other job. Then someone liked something and asked me to make one for them, or someone was having a baby and I'd make them something, and word began to spread. So I started making more and growing more. I upgrade to a facebook page, an etsy account, a new machine, taking classes to get better, and finding new things to make. I've enjoyed the growth over the past 3 year. I love seeing all the little ones with their creations and mom's excited about their new gear.
I started to realize the "legal" side of things was lacking this past year. Yes yes, not doing anything meant I never had to worry about taxes or paying for stuff. But it also meant someone could take me name, steal my pictures/ideas, and in the end hurt me and my business! That's where the planing started for getting my LLC.
Actually it was really simple, Legal Zoom did everything for me! HAHA! I just had to patiently sit and wait for the state to say YES!
And yesterday, no thanks to a bad UPS delivery (a story for another day), it all came! All my documents and a Georgia sealed paper saying I'm now a certified Limited Liability Company.
I wont lie, I'm still kinda bummed. While it comes in a nice, well put together folder I was seriously hoping for a nice certificate or something that I could frame! I mean really, I can't hang my folder or this boring piece of paper!!
But whether I have something hang or not, I'm proud of where I've come. And I'm excited that on my next batch of business cards I get to add three little letters!!
