It's for equipment, a minimum amount of startup shirts, shipping goods, and a few other small things, all physical. No i don't need the LLC right away but it isn't very expensive to register and saves me from some liability if someone decided to sue me because a shirt gave them a rash or some other ignorant shit. I can't think of any likely scenarios where i would be sued over a shirt but I'm sure there are plenty. The original stock and equipment cost enough though that I need that 1k to start or I have nothing to sell and therefore no business.

I have only a few weeks left to launch this before I miss the holiday sales completely. I've busted ass and done everything I need to research-wise, but I don't know if I'll ever get further than that. My friend said he was ready to order everything we need and get started but it's not happening. I'm SICK of dissapointment, I don't care if I have to sell myself to raise the money I'm going to make this happen, now not later.
