Bristol Palin formed a company called BSMP, LLC, which is a public relations and political consulting service. The initials represent the full name of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's 19-year-old daughter, Bristol 'Sharon Marie' Palin. The new company was revealed in a report by Rachael Maddow on her MSNBC show which aired on January 5, 2009.
The young Palin, who is in the midst of a custody battle with her baby's father Levi Johnston, set her company up as a corporation. Maddow said this is "a common choice people make when they have money coming in from various sources," referring to the public relations aspect of the business, as well as the company's involvement as an ambassador for the Candie's Foundation. The Candie's foundation is a teen pregnancy prevention group with a focus on abstinence.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/05/bristol-palins-new-compan_n_411920.html
