# 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).
|
||
|
||
**Formal documents in this folder:**
|
||
- [`sns-network-solutions.md`](./sns-network-solutions.md) — parent company brief
|
||
- [`sns-networking.md`](./sns-networking.md), [`sns-digital.md`](./sns-digital.md), [`sns-support.md`](./sns-support.md) — division briefs
|
||
- [`legal-structure.md`](./legal-structure.md) — Indiana holding-company formation plan
|
||
- [`investment-research.md`](./investment-research.md) — owner investment research (reference)
|
||
|
||
> Full brand foundation lives at [`../ai-core/knowledge/sns.md`](../ai-core/knowledge/sns.md); working scaffold, branding,
|
||
> and milestones live under [`../businesses/`](../businesses/).
|
||
|
||
> **Status:** **SNS Networking is Business #1 and lives in:
|
||
> [`../businesses/01-networking/`](../businesses/01-networking/).** The owner
|
||
> will stand it up and get it running self-sufficiently before starting Business #2.

## 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.

## Brand Inheritance (all divisions)
|
||
|
||
- **Colors:** Navy `#0A1628`, Cyan `#10C8D8`, Secondary Blue `#00A8C6`, Accent `#4CE0D2`, White `#F6F7F9`, Dark Gray `#20252B`
|
||
- **Per-division accents:** Networking = Signal Blue `#1E6FFF`, Digital = Sky `#38BDF8`, Support = Orange `#F97316`
|
||
- **Type:** Geometric, legible open-source fonts (IBM Plex Sans / Inter for body; Oxanium / Sora / Rajdhani for display)
|
||
- **Voice:** Professional, clear, educational, transparent — never flashy or sales-driven
|
||
- **Logo lockup:** `SNS` wordmark + division descriptor (endorsed sub-brand — the parent brand always shows)
