I had been in the same position for about ten years until I set up a limited liability company. It does take some effort to set up and costs about $20/month[1], but to me the peace of mind is well worth it.

A limited liability company may mean you're personally not liable, but your business can still be made bankrupt which isn't much better.

The cost to own an LLC varies a lot on jurisdiction. Even in the USA, it can vary considerably from state to state.

Also they link to a business address service, which isn't a business. Actual cost of just owning a business in the UK is £13/year

This is insane that a user has to setup a separate company just to protect themselves from sudden bills that may be not their fault.
