**Important legal note**\
\
**Highly encouraged to consult a lawyer before setting up a shared profit-making enterprise. If your DHO or DAO is intended to be a for-profit enterprise or if it resembles a traditional company then it's likely that it needs to be set up as a legal entity (can create a Wyoming DAO LLC).**\
\
For further information: "Limiting membership to 100 people or fewer, some DAOs are also able to skirt SEC rules, since they fall under a [quaint 82-year-old “investment club” exemption](https://www.sec.gov/reportspubs/investor-publications/investorpubsinvclubhtm.html)—so long as the participants are all involved in managing their DAO and don’t publicly offer their securities/tokens.
