NIL Services for College and High School Athletes
1. NIL Contract Review
Before you sign, we look at the financial side of the agreement: what you get paid, when the money actually lands, what you're obligated to deliver, and what the deal is worth after taxes. If the terms create a problem, you hear it from us first. Anything legal goes to your attorney, and we work with them directly.
2. NIL Tax Planning
The IRS treats NIL earnings as self-employment income, which means quarterly estimated payments, self-employment tax, and often filings in more than one state. Our tax team handles this in house rather than sending you somewhere else.
3. Revenue-Share Planning
Money paid directly by your school follows different tax rules than a brand deal, and it doesn't open the same retirement savings options. We plan around both at the same time.
4. Cash Flow & Budgeting
NIL money arrives in uneven amounts on an unpredictable schedule. We build a simple structure for what gets spent, what gets set aside for taxes, and what gets invested.
5. Entity & Structure Guidance
Some athletes benefit from forming an LLC or a trust, and many don't. We tell you which situation you're in instead of selling you a structure.
6. Eligibility & Disclosure Tracking
Rules differ by state, conference, and school. We keep your deals documented and your disclosures current so compliance never becomes the thing that costs you.
You know how to make money – learn how to keep it.
