Company building changed. Company infrastructure didn't.
You iterate in days. The business side should keep up.
AI and modern software let you build and test products faster than ever. But each new idea can still bring another maze of entities, bank accounts, tax IDs, documents, filings, expenses, developer accounts, and logins.
Common Umbrella gives those projects somewhere to live while they are still experiments, and keeps the infrastructure behind them organized as they become real businesses.
The umbrella model
One company can support more than one idea.
Use the business you already have while an idea is still an experiment. Each project keeps its own money and history.

Project
You're testing something.
Venture
It's becoming real.
Company
It needs its own structure.
From idea to business
The questions start when your idea becomes real.
Do I need another LLC for this?
Maybe not yet. Keep a new project under a company you already have when that makes sense, and give it its own structure when it earns it. We organize the decision. We don't make it for you.

Why is my personal name showing up when I publish my app?
App stores, payment processors, and contracts all ask who is behind the product. Know which business and details you can use before launch day makes the decision for you.
