On August 28, 2026, Nova Darling Media became a fully licensed LLC. Before that day, this was “something I do.” After it, it was a business — with paperwork to prove it.
Here’s the step I’d hand to anyone starting out: do the legal basics early. Forming the LLC and getting my EIN took less time than the months I spent putting it off, and everything else got easier once the business existed on paper — the business bank account, real contracts, charging real prices without apologizing for them.
You don’t need everything figured out to make it official. Official is what lets you figure out the rest.
