Generate a business formation checklist, free
Starting a business involves a real sequence of steps most people only learn by missing one — picking a structure, registering it, getting an EIN, the licenses your specific business actually needs, opening a business bank account before money gets tangled with personal. Describe what you're starting and get the concrete checklist, in order, not a vague list of categories.
Why
So legally standing up the business doesn't stall on a step nobody knew existed until it caused a real problem — a missed license, personal and business money getting tangled together.
What
Concrete checkbox steps grouped by phase, explicitly flagging wherever a step depends on your location or industry instead of inventing a specific rule.
How
Work through it in order — structure, registration, taxes/IDs, licenses, banking — and confirm anything jurisdiction- or industry-specific with a lawyer or accountant rather than guessing.
When
Before you take your first paying customer, ideally before you've told anyone the business is "real."
Where
Keep it visible to whoever's splitting up the setup work — co-founders, an accountant, a lawyer — so nothing gets silently assumed done.
