# SnS Network Solutions — Division Directory

**Parent:** SnS Network Solutions Holdings LLC (holding company)
**Structure:** Each division is a separate **operating subsidiary LLC** owned by
the parent Holdings LLC. See [`legal-structure.md`](./legal-structure.md) for
the formation plan, fees, and timing.
**Inherits brand from:** [`../ai-core/knowledge/sns.md`](../ai-core/knowledge/sns.md) · **Parent company brief:** [`sns-network-solutions.md`](./sns-network-solutions.md)

The parent Holdings LLC owns the brand and every subsidiary but does no client
work and carries no operating liability. Each division operates as its own LLC so
its liability is walled off from the others. Divisions are formed **as each begins
real billable work** — not all at once (per-entity bookkeeping is the real cost).

## Division Index

**Launch order is sequential and owner-chosen — one business at a time.**
Business #1 is **SNS Networking** (active). When it stands on its own, the
owner selects Business #2.

## Why 3 Divisions (Not 7)

The original 7-division model over-segmented for a pre-revenue solo operation.
The consolidation groups by:

- **Delivery model:** Networking = on-site/physical. Digital = remote/keyboard. Support = ongoing/recurring.
- **Insurance pool:** Networking = GL + cyber E&O + workers' comp. Digital = professional E&O only. Support = E&O + SLA contractual.
- **Skill set:** Each division is one team, not fragments of work that share a job site.

---

## Boundary Rules

- **Build vs. maintain:** Networking and Digital *build*; **Support** *maintains*.
  Any recurring/managed contract belongs to Support — not the builder.
- **Physical vs. digital:** On-site work (wire, servers, cameras) = **Networking**.
  Remote/code/cloud work = **Digital**.
- **One job may touch multiple entities** — split it, scope each part under its own LLC.

- **Logo lockup:** `SNS` wordmark + division descriptor (endorsed sub-brand — the parent brand always shows)
