Business-Ready start
Get the practical sales basics in place before you pay for more software.
Choose where the business is now, then use the smallest free route that gets it ready to quote, sell, be found, or follow up.
Selected route
Get Ready
- 1. Run the scorecard
- 2. Fix website and profile gaps
- 3. Save a launch-ready action list
Free first. The optional Launch Admin Pack is only for one-off help after the tool output is useful.
Check outputs before using them. Most tools run locally; the AI brief is built on this device; only paste it into another assistant when you choose to. Browser saves are unencrypted and stay on this device. Download important work as a backup.
Use this when
- You have a new company or sole-trader idea and need the boring launch basics in one place.
- You want to check website, email, invoices, quote wording, pricing, and customer follow-up before paying for more tools.
- You need a simple founder checklist rather than a subscription-heavy software stack.
What you get
- A five-question guided start flow that turns your rough setup into a sequenced launch pack.
- Checks for public contact details, profile copy, invoices, quotes, pricing, cash runway, QR assets, and review routes.
- Copy/download options so the useful parts can be saved locally and refined before publishing.
Common questions
Is this only for limited companies?
No. It is useful for sole traders, side projects, and small limited companies, but you must still check the setup rules that apply to your own business.
What should I do first?
Start with the guided questions, then fix contact details, quote/invoice wording, public profile copy, pricing, and follow-up basics before printing or advertising.
