History Ethika was founded in 2001 by Malcolm McCassy when he noticed a void in the Men's Underwear category. There was no underwear brand that offered a multi-purpose product for the active lifestyle that also had the ‘cool factor’. From 2001 to 2009, Ethika was more just a brand name and a group of friends than it was an underwear company. During this time, many different fits and fabrics were sampled in hopes of creating something new and different in the category.

Limited Liability Company
A limited liability company (LLC for short) is the US-specific form of a private limited company. It is a business structure that can combine the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation. An LLC is not a corporation under state law; it is a legal form of a company that provides limited liability to its owners in many jurisdictions. LLCs are well known for the flexibility that they provide to business owners; depending on the situation, an LLC may elect to use corporate tax rules instead of being treated as a partnership, and, under certain circumstances, LLCs may be organized as not-for-profit. In certain U.S. states (for example, Texas), businesses that provide professional services requiring a state professional license, such as legal or medical services, may not be allowed to form an LLC but may be required to form a similar entity called a professional limited liability company (PLLC). An LLC is a hybrid le ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
