THE PROBLEM

Launching a business shouldn't mean figuring it all out alone.

“I don't know what I don't know”

There are a hundred things to do and no way to know which ones come first. You can't get a bank account without an EIN. You can't sign a lease without insurance. Every step unlocks the next one, but nobody gives you the sequence.

“Nothing out there is built for me”

ChatGPT gives generic answers. Google gives ten conflicting ones. Every city has different permits, costs, and requirements. None of these tools know your city or your business type.

“I don't know if the numbers work”

You need to know what this costs and when you'll break even before you commit. The fear of spending money without knowing if it'll work is what keeps most founders stuck.

WHAT CHANGES

What happens when you have a system.

Launch without the guesswork

Every task, requirement, and deadline laid out in the right order for your business and your city.

See every cost before you spend

Find funding you actually qualify for

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is BossWorks?
A business launch platform that gives you a step-by-step plan tailored to your business type and city. It covers tasks, costs, funding, and has AI assistants for when you get stuck. Think of it as the structure and guidance you'd get from a consultant, without paying for one.
Do I need any business experience to use BossWorks?
No. BossWorks is built for first-time founders. You don't need to know what an EIN is, how to read a lease, or what permits apply to your business. The platform explains each step in plain language and tells you exactly what to do next.
What's the difference between BossWorks and hiring a consultant?
A consultant charges $150–$500/hour to answer the same questions BossWorks answers automatically. BossWorks builds your plan, tracks your progress, surfaces funding options, and has AI assistants available any time — without the hourly bill. For questions that genuinely require a lawyer or accountant, BossWorks tells you when to bring one in.
Is BossWorks available outside the US?
BossWorks is currently focused on the US market. Plans are built around US business formation, federal and state requirements, and US-based funding programmes. International expansion is on the roadmap.
How long does it take to get my plan?
Your initial plan is ready in minutes. You answer a short set of questions about your business type, city, and situation, and BossWorks generates a customised step-by-step plan immediately. The plan evolves as you complete tasks and provide more information.
Can I use BossWorks if I'm already running a business?
Yes. BossWorks has a dedicated path for existing business owners — covering hiring, expansion, getting organised, building financial models, and finding growth funding. You don't have to be starting from scratch to benefit from a structured plan.
What happens after the beta period?
BossWorks will transition to a paid model after beta. Early users who participate during beta will receive preferential pricing. We'll give you clear advance notice before any charges begin — no surprise billing.
What types of businesses is this for?
Any independent business where tasks, costs, and location matter. Online sellers, creators, coaches, freelancers, pet care, home services, health and wellness, salons, bakeries, food trucks, and more.
Is this personalized to my city?
Yes. Your plan reflects your specific location: local permits, city-level costs, nearby competitors, and funding available in your area. An online seller in Philadelphia gets different guidance than a coach in Austin.
Is my data safe?
Your data is private and never shared. We don't use your business information to train AI for other users. Your plan, your financials, and your documents stay yours.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you a wall of text. BossWorks gives you a structured plan that's specific to your business, tracks your progress, and updates as you go. It's the difference between asking a question and having a system.
How much does it cost?
BossWorks is free during beta. No credit card required. We're building with early users right now, and your feedback helps shape the product.
Does this replace a lawyer or accountant?
No. BossWorks gives you the plan, the costs, the funding options, and the guidance. Some questions will lead you to a professional, and the app will tell you when that's the case.
