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 for the formation plan, fees, and timing. Inherits brand from: ../ai-core/knowledge/sns.md · Parent company brief: 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:

Full brand foundation lives at ../ai-core/knowledge/sns.md; working scaffold, branding, and milestones live under ../businesses/.

Status: SNS Networking is Business #1 and lives in: ../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)
