The list
Formation and legal
The paperwork that makes you a business before the first engagement letter.
LLC formation from $0 plus state fees, with the first year of registered agent service included. A clean setup for operators working as independent contractors.
The standard for electronic signatures. Engagement letters, NDAs, and client agreements. Free plan available; paid plans from $10 a month.
Templates for contracts, NDAs, and partnership agreements. An affordable route for the standard documents that do not need custom drafting.
Bookkeeping and invoicing
Income across several engagements, kept straight for the accountant and the quarterlies.
Income, expenses, mileage, and estimated quarterly taxes in one place. The tool most accountants expect, built for 1099 income from more than one client.
Automatic GPS mileage tracking for the drives to client sites. Set it once and the deduction takes care of itself.
Marketing and press
For the moments worth announcing: a new venture, a partnership, a market you just entered.
Health and insurance
Coverage that travels with you between engagements.
Travel
Client sites are rarely down the street.
Security
Client systems, shared logins, and public networks, handled with care.
Networking and hardware
Facility and office connectivity that holds up.
Off the clock
Operators are people too.
