HOW IT WORKS

See what applies. Gather it once. File it yourself.

01 · WHAT APPLIES

Only the requirements that apply to you

We pull just the requirements that apply to you, each cited to its rule. No wading through rules written for other businesses.

02 · GATHER ONCE

Every document, in one place

Each requirement names the document that proves it. Gather everything once, then reuse it across programs and at renewal.

03 · FILE YOURSELF

You submit everything

We never file for you. No power of attorney, no portal credentials, no middleman. That’s a feature.

Walk into your application already prepared.

A SPREADSHEET, A CONSULTANT, OR LATER?

Three reasons people wait, and why organized beats each one.

A spreadsheet

A spreadsheet does not know which requirements apply to you, cite the rule, or tell you when it changed. This does.

A consultant

A consultant charges $3,000 or more to file on your behalf. We charge a flat fee, and you keep control.

Waiting

Requirements change and gathering documents takes longer than anyone expects. Starting organized is the difference between one clean filing and a scramble.

WHY PAY WHEN THE RULES ARE FREE

The rules are public. Knowing which ones are yours is the work.

You are paying for the answer to three questions, tailored to your business: which requirements apply to you, which document proves each one, and what changed this year. We have already done that work, cited to the rule and dated, so you are not piecing it together from the CFR at midnight.
