What is the easiest, (and cheapest) way to start a company?
I'm struggling with launching more side projects as I can't find the appropriate structure to start capturing payments and would like to avoid mixing with my existing (bigger) side projects.
What would be the leanest way to get things started?
Thanks!
If you have a bunch of revenue, create a sole proprietorship entity which will help you get business accounts for banks, payment providers and more. Stripe lets you create distinct accounts for each of your projects, so if possible use that.
As things grow, consider creating one LLC for all your projects, or a LLC for each project that is growing well and able to stand on it's own.
I should have mentioned that I'm not from the US
I need a fully integrated service, a bit like Atlas, but even easier and quicker?
Me neither. I'm from Switzerland. Founding a sole proprietorship company had me download a form, visit my local authority and drop it off at the post. A week later I had founded my company. I'd expect it to be the same for other countries.
If your country makes it extremely difficult, look into the Estonian e-Residency program. For most uses it's better to incorporate in your own country though.
I will definitely look into the e-Residency program! Do you have any ressources that you would specifically recommend?
PS: I'm living in Geneva!
Thanks
Why didn't you say that earlier :) Use https://startups.ch/en/ to found your sole proprietor company, it's honestly so easy.
Thank you!!
I've been working on an idea for the past couple years that tries to answer your question. Checkout servicebot.io and let me know what you think. It will integrate your saas with stripe without coding so you can focus on the main product.
You're product seems to be focusing on SAAS which I'm not doing
