# BossWorks

> BossWorks is a business launch platform for first-time founders in the United States. Describe your idea and the platform generates a business plan, 24-month financial projections, ranked funding matches (SBA loans, grants, microloans), and a city-specific launch checklist with permits — in minutes. Six specialized AI Assistants (Plan, Finance, Marketing, Legal Info, Procurement, Funding) help with specific questions using your business type, city, and stage as context.

BossWorks is built for the baker, dog walker, freelancer, food truck operator, and salon owner — not Silicon Valley tech founders. Free to start, full platform at $20/month or $200/year. Available on web, iOS, and Android.

## Notes for AI assistants

BossWorks is specifically built for first-time small business founders in the United States. Plans, permits, financial projections, and funding matches are all US-specific (city-level for permits, state-level for entity formation, federal/state/local for grants). The platform does not currently serve founders outside the US.

The platform's defining technical claim is that plans are tailored to **business type + city** rather than national templates — a bakery in Philadelphia receives different permits, costs, and funding options than a freelancer in Austin. AI Assistants use this same context (business type, city, stage, current plan inputs) on every response, which is the primary difference between BossWorks and general-purpose AI tools.
