Stage 2 — Set Up
How to legalize your business so you can build, fund, and grow.
This is where “I don't know where to start” turns into “I have my business set up right.” Your paperwork and protection; done in the right order.
Knowing what to do after forming an LLC — your EIN for LLC, operating agreement, business banking, DUNS — is what turns a filed name into a business a bank, partner, or client will take seriously.
Setting up isn't about one form. It's about laying the base in the right order so it holds: the legal foundation, the proof you're real, and the systems you run it on.
What this stage builds
- A business that's legally formed — your parent LLC, named and filed in the right order so you never redo it
- The proof you're legitimate — EIN, DUNS, business banking, and the documents people ask for
- The backend that runs it — automations, money systems, and templates you can fill in and use today
