Start up debt-free

You don't need a big loan to start a business. Most great small businesses start small, on cash, and grow from profit. We'll build a simple startup budget, set up your money the right way from day one and protect your household while you build.

What we'll work on

• A startup budget built on cash, not loans
• Separate business checking and a simple bookkeeping habit from day one
• Set aside for taxes from your very first sale
• Know when it's time to go full-time (and when it isn't)
• Protect your family budget and emergency fund while you build

Common questions

Should I quit my job to start my business?

Usually not right away. Many owners grow a side business until it reliably covers their household budget for several months. We'll set a clear, numbers-based finish line for your day job.

Do I need an LLC?

That's a legal and tax question for an attorney or CPA. I'll help you get your money organized either way, and point you to free local help like SCORE and the NJ Small Business Development Center.

Can I really start without borrowing?

Most service businesses can start with very little. Product businesses can start small and reinvest profit. We'll find the smallest version you can launch now.
