From idea to an officially open business. We help you choose a structure with your advisors, handle the setup steps in the right order and build the financial foundation behind it, so nothing gets missed.
BUSINESS SETUP
Business setup is a checklist of small steps that have to happen in the right order. We coordinate every one of them with you.
We walk through sole proprietor, LLC and corporation options with you and your CPA or attorney, then coordinate the state filing and your operating documents.
We help you get your EIN, register with your state and identify the city, county and industry licenses your business needs.
We help you open a separate business account and set up the payment tools you need to get paid from day one.
We set up QuickBooks with clear categories, connect your accounts and show you how to keep it clean in minutes a week.
You get a clear plan with every next step: brand, website, systems and the order to do them in.
When you are ready for a brand and website, the same team already knows your business.
HOW IT WORKS
A free intro call and a clear plan: what to build, in what order and why.
We build the foundation, from setup and brand to website and systems, with you approving each step.
After launch, we stay on as your team for updates, marketing, books and operations.
