Business Setup

I'll Help You Not Make the Expensive Mistakes I Already Made For You.
 

Starting a business is exciting. It's also a minefield of decisions that seem small until they aren't — a name that's already trademarked, a logo that won't embroider, an email address that ends in @gmail.com, a domain someone else grabbed while you were thinking about it.
 

I've made most of those mistakes so you don't have to. Now I help new business owners get the foundation right from day one — all the way from naming your business to opening QuickBooks for the first time.
 

What I do for you:

• Business name research — Google searches, Secretary of State checks, and social handle availability. Need a trademark check? I can add that to your scope for an additional fee.

• LLC formation — filed correctly with your state

• EIN application — the instant online version, and yes, we are absolutely saving that confirmation somewhere you'll actually find it

• Domain registration — .com first, always

• Email setup via Google Workspace — because you are not running a business from Gmail

• Logo design coordination — I'll connect you with a designer, brief them properly, and make sure you walk away with every file format you need (.eps, .svg, .png, .jpg). No JPG-only logos. No gradients that won't embroider.

• Brand colors and fonts — chosen for real-world use, not just what looks pretty on a screen

• Website build — Squarespace, Wix, or WordPress depending on your needs and comfort level

• Business banking and credit card recommendations — I'll tell you exactly who I recommend and why; you open the accounts yourself

• QuickBooks Online setup — ready to use from day one
   

Not starting from zero? That's fine. If your LLC is already filed and you just need the brand and website piece, we can start there. Business Setup is scoped to where you actually are, not where I'd prefer you to start.
