Etsy sellers create and sell handmade, vintage, or custom products that can expose them to product liability, copyright infringement, and trademark disputes. If a handmade candle causes a fire or a child chokes on a small piece, you could be personally liable. An LLC separates your personal assets from your Etsy business and also makes it easier to open a business bank account and obtain wholesale pricing.
