 Ready?

First things First: Become A Business

The legal and compliance structure of your business is one of the first steps to take in order to properly organize your dream.

While hiring an official business attorney is typically the best option for most businesses who are just organizing, cost still remains a challenge for many new business owners.

Therefore, our recommended cost effective yet compliant companies to help on this front are Northwestern Registered Agents and Tailor Brands. Both have an emphasis on privacy, offering private mailing addresses, registered agent services as well as legal filings so that you stay in compliance confidently.

Then we recommend applying for a Business Credit Card so that you can responsibly finance your business costs while gaining rewards points to help you save. Our favorite is American Express. It has the best rewards for travel and business expenses. Here is our teams link to receive a special bonus if you are approved.

Making Money

Getting support to work out what you are selling and how you are going to sell it comes next. BUT, you need a website, a way to collect and send emails, a method to accept payments and a process for documenting what was generated before tax time.

The all in one tool that we prefer for an easy, yet affordable online marketing platform that also allows you to build a branded website as you are growing is Kajabi.

Kajabi not only teaches you marketing hacks but also can hold the entire back end of your business on its site, allowing you to make offers, accept payments and pay partners! 

We have also heard great things about Teachable if you are into selling online courses and programs! We have them linked here.

Lastly, for tax prep - Freshbooks comes highly recommended. Just be sure to track your income and expenses from the beginning to make it super easy to file your taxes when the time comes. You can check freshbooks out to see the discount they are offering our community here.  

Outsourcing and Building A Team

If you are not the DIY type or simply do not have the time, gain a head start on the market by finding a virtual assistant, sales agent, graphic designer and more. 

Pricing for help starts as LOW as $5 !

Enter the marketplace here, it is one of the first places we see entrepreneurs go when they need fast help.
