How it works

One founder, four moves

  1. Get a plan

    A founder says they want to open a small shop and gets a checklist with eight steps and the time each one takes.

    Step-by-step checklist: see what is done, what is next and how long each step takes

  2. Do a step

    They open the bank account step, see the papers they need, tick them off and mark the step done.

  3. Ask a question

    Stuck on tax, they ask the helper. The answer is short, links to the tax step and tells them to confirm the limit with an accountant.

  4. Make a paper

Features

Everything a first-time founder needs

  • Checklists by business type

    The founder picks what they plan to open, such as a shop, a service business, an online store or a food business, and gets a checklist made for it. Each step shows its time and status.

  • Step guides

    Each step explains what it is, why it matters, what papers to bring and what to watch for. The founder ticks off papers and marks the step as done.

  • Helper

    The founder asks a question in their own words. The helper answers from the guides in the app, links to the matching step and says when a point should be checked with a professional.

  • Document templates

    The app has fill-in templates for common papers. The founder answers a few questions and downloads a ready document, with a note to have important papers read by a lawyer.

  • Reminders

    The app reminds the founder of steps that have been waiting and of dates that matter, such as a yearly filing or a licence renewal.

  • Content admin panel

    The team edits the checklists, keeps templates current and reviews answers the helper gave. Anything flagged goes to a person for a check, and the guide is fixed once.

Admin: edit checklists, keep templates up to date and review what the helper answered

What is a start-a-business guide app?

It is an app that walks a new founder through the steps of setting up a business, such as choosing a type, registering, opening a bank account and getting licences, and explains each step in simple words.

What decides the time it takes to build an app like this?

Mostly the number of business types and regions you cover, how many document templates you need and how the helper is checked. Many teams start with one region, a few business types and the checklist, then add templates and the helper.

Can you build a business guide app like this for my business?

Yes. We can build the app for Android and iOS, the content panel for your team and the document templates, using the rules of your country or region.

Does the helper give legal advice?

No. In this design it gives general guidance, points to the matching checklist step and tells the user to check important points with an accountant or lawyer. Your team can review and correct answers in the admin panel.

How do the document templates work?

The user picks a template, fills in a few details such as names, amounts and dates, and the app builds a document they can download, print and sign.
