In 2017, I decided to incorporate a business. Focused on wireless professional services, I had been receiving enough work to make it a structured entity.

That’s when the business was registered online though, INCfile.com, as a single member LLC.

Why an LLC? My business really started in San Diego in the year 2015. As a sole proprietor I was doing more blogging than consulting.

When I moved to San Jose, CA there was an opportunity to start fresh with a focus on enterprise wireless.

The LLC allowed me to create a separate entity and provided a protection for my personal assets.

My business was started as a side hustle and continues to be one.

Since 2017, I’ve taught myself how to run a small business of one. I’ve never gone to business school. This is going to be a fun journey for me.

I intentionally want to keep the business small. And by small, I mean just me. I have no desire to grow and have many employees. Very much the opposite of how other businesses think in Silicon Valley. And that’s where I’ll start to differentiate myself.
