Launch Plan Clients Don't Just File Paperwork—They Build Businesses
Here’s what Launch clients say when we ask ‘Why not just DIY?’:
- 'I'm already making $5k/mo and need to get legal fast.' (Side-hustlers going legit)
- 'I have a co-founder and we need a real operating agreement.' (Partnerships)
- 'I don't want to waste weeks Googling legal questions.' (Corporate escapees)
- 'I need contracts ready so I can start signing clients immediately.' (Service businesses)
- 'I'm in healthcare/food/tech and DIY won't work for compliance.' (Regulated industries)
If any of these sound like you, the Launch Plan is worth every penny.
The Launch Plan Advantage
1. Solid Legal Foundation
We form your LLC or corporation and craft every key document: operating agreement, founder agreements, client contracts… so your business is built on rock-solid ground.
2. Unlimited Expert Access
Email us anytime, as many times as you like, for five full months. Prefer talking it out? Enjoy five scheduled strategy calls (one each month) with a business attorney who speaks plain English.
3. Momentum‑Building Playbooks
From pricing and cash‑flow to marketing and your first hires, we share proven checklists that shorten your learning curve and help you make smart, confident decisions.
4. Five‑Month Accelerator
A focused timeline that keeps you moving forward. By graduation, you’re cruising on your own—knowing we’re still here whenever you need a quick tune‑up.
The Real Cost of DIY: What You’ll Pay Later
We’ve helped dozens of businesses who started with DIY services. Here’s what they paid to fix it:
Operating Agreement
Fix/Rewrite
DIY templates don't protect you in lawsuits or disputes. Cost to fix later: $1,500-3,000
Co-Founder
Disputes
No founder agreement = legal battles over ownership, decisions, exits. Cost: $10,000-50,000+
Wrong Tax
Elections
Choosing wrong entity type or tax structure. Annual cost: $2,000-10,000 in excess taxes
Bad Contracts
or None
Can't sign clients without contracts. DIY contracts get you sued. Cost per dispute: $5,000-25,000
Total cost of DIY mistakes: $18,500-88,000+
The Launch Plan costs $1,975-2,875 and prevents all of this. Plus, you get unlimited support for 5 months so you never waste time stuck on legal questions.
Not all DIY businesses hit every problem. But when they do, it's expensive.

The Biggest Mistake New Founders Make?
It’s not starting with DIY. It’s staying stuck.
We’ve seen dozens of founders waste weeks Googling ‘Do I need an operating agreement?’ or ‘How do I write a contract?’ or ‘Should I be an S-corp?’
That’s time they could’ve spent landing customers, building product, or growing revenue.
The Launch Plan gives you unlimited email access to a business lawyer for 5 months. No more Googling. No more second-guessing. No more wasted time.
Get unstuck. Start building.

How to start a strong LLC
Most people think that you can go register your business as an LLC and you’re good, but that’s the farthest from the truth. You could still be sued and lose your house, car, or anything valuable.
Here’s what you need to start an LLC:
- Register your LLC. Anyone can do this!
- Write an operating agreement. It will maximize your protection, and is your backup should something go wrong.
- Observe corporate formalities. These are rules that you observe to keep your business strong. E.g. using a business bank account for your business instead of a personal one.
If you think you’d like help with these LLC create steps, talk to us. We want your business idea to start strong, and we love giving you our experienced advice to get your goals accomplished.
