Name Your Business and Set Up Your Company

Six setup decisions are cheap on day one and expensive once money or a second person arrives.

Founders put off naming checks, vesting and the paperwork because the product feels more urgent. The bill comes later, as a forced rename, a co-founder who left with half the company, or code the company turns out not to own. The work itself is short, standard and mostly yours to do.

You run a name through five quick tests and a trademark search, settle the domain in an afternoon, and choose the type of company with two questions. You sign vesting and IP assignments before anyone could claim a share, register the company in one sitting, and learn the few points where paying a lawyer makes sense. The rules differ by country, so every legal step shows where to check your local rules.

You walk away with a cleared name, a domain, the right type of company, signed vesting and IP agreements, and one folder holding the proof of all six decisions.

Who it's for

First-time founders: who want to set up a company properly without guessing or overpaying for routine work.

Co-founder teams: who need vesting and ownership of the early work settled before anyone builds much more.

Side-project builders: who want a name, a domain and a company in place so the project can take money and grow.
