Less than 12-Weeks later, they’re open for business with sales!

“I’d been ‘about to start my business’ for two years. The week-by-week calendar is the only thing that ever got me to actually file. I’m officially open.”

Marcus T.
Wren & Field Photography — 2025

“The Decision Engine picked my entity in eight questions. No lawyer, no $1,500 bill. LLC formed, EIN in hand, books connected — all before week seven.”

Renata J.
Renata Jules Studio — 2025

“By week twelve I had contracts, a payment processor, my first real sale, and a 12-month compliance calendar. For one dollar to start.”

Derek M.
Halston Coffee Roasters — 2026
Where are you now?

Find your starting week.

Pick the statement that sounds most like you. You will not repeat work you have already done — the calendar starts where you are.

I have an idea but nothing is set up yet.
Start at Week 01. Weeks 1–12 · full program

You are exactly who the calendar was built for. Weeks 1–3 turn the idea into a One-Page Business Case, pick your entity with the Decision Engine, and clear your name, domain, and handles. Nothing gets filed until you know what you are filing.

I know what I am building, but I have not chosen an entity or state.
Start at Week 02. Weeks 2–12

Skip validation. Run the 8-question Decision Engine, load your state’s requirements, then move straight into the address and filing weeks.

My name is picked — I just need to file.
Start at Week 04. Weeks 4–12

Set up the address you will file under, submit through the Fast-Track portal, and claim your EIN and operating agreement. Roughly three weeks to formed.

I am formed, but I have no bank account, books, or tax registration.
Start at Week 07. Weeks 7–12

This is the most common gap. Open business banking, connect your books, register federal and state taxes, and get your licenses, permits, and insurance in place.

I am formed and compliant — I need contracts and to get paid.
Start at Week 10. Weeks 10–12

Put your client agreement, privacy terms, and NDA templates in place, turn on payment processing with sales tax automated, and export your 12-month compliance calendar.

I have been operating a while and I am not sure what I have missed.
Start with the compliance audit in Week 07. Self-paced

Work backward: books, tax registration, licenses, and contracts. Anything already done gets checked off, and the calendar only shows you what is still open.

Still not sure? Call (888) 871-0444 and a licensed advisor will place you in under five minutes.

Questions, Answered.

What happens after the first week?

After day 7, your subscription renews at $29/month. You keep full access to all twelve weeks, every template and tool, ongoing support, and the Ongoing Compliance Hub once you graduate. Cancel any time — no contracts, no fees.

Do I need a lawyer or an accountant?

No. The Decision Engine, pre-filled filings, and state-aware checklists are built so you can choose your entity, file, register for taxes, and set up clean books without hiring anyone. Real advisors are on call 24/7 if you get stuck.

Are state filing fees included?

Your full program access is included. Government charges are paid directly to the agency at cost — your EIN is free from the IRS, and some states charge a formation fee. We show you exactly what to expect for your state before you file.

What if I already started my business?

Skip the weeks you’ve already done. Existing owners use the Blueprint to close compliance gaps — register for the right taxes, set up proper bookkeeping, get licensed, and put real contracts in place.

How much time does each week take?

About 2–4 hours. Each week is one focused outcome with tap-to-complete checklists, designed to be finished on your phone between everything else you have going on.

What’s the refund policy?

30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If the Blueprint isn’t right for you, email us within 30 days of enrolling and we’ll refund every dollar.

Can I talk to a real person before I start?

Yes — call (888) 871-0444 anytime, 24/7. A licensed advisor will answer in under two minutes.

You don’t need to get this perfect.
You need to get it done.
