Six Ways We Protect Your Business
LLC Formation
Separate your personal assets from your content business. We handle the paperwork, filings, and operating agreements so your LLC is properly structured from day one — giving you liability protection and a professional foundation to grow.
Copyright Registration
Your videos, images, and original content are valuable intellectual property. We register your work with the US Copyright Office, establishing the legal record that makes enforcement possible and damages recoverable.
Piracy Litigation
When someone steals your content for profit, we pursue them. Our attorneys file DMCA takedowns, send cease-and-desist letters, and litigate in federal court when necessary. Content pirates should fear your name.
Bookkeeping & Tax Prep
Creator income is complex — ad revenue, sponsorships, merchandise, licensing. We track every dollar, categorize every expense, and prepare your returns so you pay only what you owe and not a cent more.
Quarterly Tax Filing
Self-employed creators owe estimated taxes four times a year. Miss a payment and the IRS charges penalties. We calculate your quarterly obligations and file on time, every time — no surprises in April.
Profitability Consulting
Growing an audience is one thing. Building a profitable business is another. We analyze your revenue streams, identify untapped opportunities, and help you structure your content business to generate lasting wealth.
Protectors of Legitimate Commerce
In the late 1600s, the Spanish Crown deployed the Guarda Costa — coast guard vessels charged with protecting lawful trade from pirates who preyed on those who built something worth stealing.
The parallel to today's creator economy is exact. You build an audience, produce original content, and generate real income. Pirates — individuals and companies alike — steal that work and profit from it without your permission.
Guarda Costa exists to be your protector. We bring the same relentless pursuit to content pirates that those original coast guard captains brought to the sea — but through the law, not force.
Your content is your business.
Let's protect it.
