What do I get for free?
Two sample requirements, the government levels researched, and the number of potential requirements found for your business. No card is needed for the preview. Pay $49 once if you want the full checklist, official links, published fees, and renewal details.
Where does the information come from?
Official federal, state, county, and city sources. Each requirement in your report links to the issuing agency so you can check the details yourself. When a fee is not published or a rule depends on your circumstances, we say so.
Does it work for my kind of business?
Tell us what you do in your own words, including anything unusual. We research your description and location, rather than choosing a generic checklist from a fixed menu. We cover cities, towns, and unincorporated areas in all 50 states and DC.
How long will my report take?
Allow a few minutes for research. Some requests take longer while we check sources or retry. We email you when your preview is ready, so you do not need to stay on the page.
What if something is missing?
Contact us within 30 days of purchase if an agency confirms an applicable requirement is missing or materially wrong. Choose a fresh research run at no charge or a full refund. Your report also explains which details to confirm with the issuing agency.
Will you file the applications for me?
No. Your report tells you what to apply for, where to apply, and the order to do it in. You submit the applications directly to the issuing agencies. Reports summarize public requirements and are not legal advice.
