Ask HN: What's the minimum I should do to legally-protect my side project?

Posted by candlefather on Monday February 27, 2017 @05:06PM
from the ask-hn dept.

What are the minimum (i.e. cheapest) legal actions that I should really do if my side-project is already up and running and people are using it ?

* I'm not charging any money from users but I've got ads on the site. * I don't want to incorporate - this is a side project and I hope it can be sustained that way.

Thanks !

I would say LLC for all or most of your side projects .

You can trademark your graphic assets. Shouldnt be too much trouble , most of this can be done online by yourself .

If you don't want a legal entity you better have a business moat I.e. real users , real usecase, or put your name , face on the site and brand it such that your side project=you
