My concern with SaaS's are the legal problems, need some blanket ToS I can use, do I need an LLC? Etc... Like this rendering bug caused a seizure give me money, sort of thing. Outlandish but yeah

In the US, anybody can sue you for anything. And if they do, you will have to defend yourself in court.

No, you don't need a LLC, and it doesn't shield you from a lawsuit unless you manage the LLC like a real corporation.

I see this type of comment on HN quite frequently. If you're that worried about lawsuits, maybe starting a company isn't right for you.

Yeah do it or don't easy to talk, I'll probably just find some off-the-shelf ToS/Privacy Policies to go with initially and if it happens to be profitable worry about lawyers later when there is actually money to use.
