Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Something else on your mind? Ask Mike directly.

How does pricing work?

Every package and service has a flat, published price. You see the cost before you pay, and checkout runs through Square. Monthly programs bill once a month until you cancel.

How fast can you form my business?

The Startup Foundation Package is built to get you formed correctly in seven to fourteen days. State processing times vary, and we tell you what to expect for your state.

What is profit & risk analytics?

A hard look at your numbers: cash flow, break-even, margins, budgets and projections, plus the compliance and money risks that tend to catch small businesses off guard. You get a clear report and the next steps to act on.

What does media presence cover?

How your business shows up when customers and lenders look you up: your website, domain and professional email, Google Business Profile, directory listings and email marketing.

Do you prepare taxes or give legal advice?

No. We are not a law firm, CPA firm or lender. For tax filing or legal advice, work with a licensed professional.

What happens after I pay?

You get a Square receipt right away, and Mike reaches out within one business day to schedule your kickoff. Your purchases show in your client portal.
