KNOWLEDGE — SnS Businesses

Why I keep this: to route and scope every piece of work to the correct SNS entity, protect the liability shield (each business is a separate LLC), and keep contracts and books clean. When a request or a business report comes in, I check it against these scopes.

The entities

# Entity Scope — what it does Boundary — what it does NOT Liability Status
00 SnS Network Solutions Holdings LLC (parent) Owns brand/IP + 100% of each subsidiary No client work; no operating liability None (by design)
01 SNS Infrastructure LLC Structured cabling, LAN/networking, wireless — the physical wire and foundation Not cameras/security (Secure), not servers/OS (Systems), not cloud (Cloud) High (physical/on-site) ACTIVE (Business #1)
02 SNS Secure LLC Cameras, access control, alarms (physical security) + cybersecurity (audits, firewall, monitoring, incident response) Not the base LAN (that's Infrastructure) High (physical + cyber E&O) Planned
03 SNS Support LLC Managed services, helpdesk, RMM, monitoring, SLAs — maintains what the others build. ALL recurring/managed contracts live here Not net-new build (that's the builder division) MedHigh (SLA) Planned
04 SNS Systems LLC On-prem servers, Linux, virtualization, on-prem compute/storage Not the wire (Infra), not off-prem (Cloud), not ongoing management (Support) Medium Planned
05 SNS Cloud LLC AWS/Azure, hybrid, off-prem compute, migrations Not on-prem (Systems); managed cloud is handed to Support Medium Planned
06 SNS Web LLC Websites, hosting, domains, digital presence Managed hosting SLAs coordinate with Support LowMed Planned
07 SNS Software LLC Custom apps, automation, integrations (client owns the code) Not off-the-shelf resale Medium Planned

Boundary rules (the lines I enforce)

  • Build vs. maintain: a division builds; Support maintains. Any recurring or managed contract belongs to Support — not the builder.
  • Where the compute lives: the wire = Infrastructure · on-prem servers = Systems · off-prem = Cloud.
  • Security is its own entity: cameras / access control / cyber = Secure, even on an Infrastructure job site.
  • One job may touch several entities — then it is split, and each part is scoped, contracted, and billed under its own LLC. Never run one entity's work under another's name.

Scope-bleed examples (catch and correct these)

  • A camera install being run under Infrastructure → belongs to Secure.
  • A "manage our network monthly" ask landing on Infrastructure → the managed part is Support.
  • A cloud migration filed under Systems → Cloud.
  • A hosting-with-SLA website job under Web → build is Web, the SLA/managed part is Support.

What each business reports on (when it reports)

Work in progress · new requests/leads · blockers · anything crossing entity lines · anything needing Sam (money, legal, pricing, external comms).
