Kit for small business owners

Business Buddy

An honest coach that takes you from an idea to your first paying customers, one step at a time, and keeps asking the question expensive programs often don't: can you afford this if it doesn't work?

For: Anyone starting a small business, or testing an idea before they commit to it
You get: A coach and web page built for your business: 24 steps from writing the idea down to your first sales, a spending cap and stop rule, a money tracker that warns you near your cap, simple sums for pricing and break-even, and a weekly check-in
Needs: A Claude account (a paid plan works best for the coach). Your plan and numbers stay in your own Claude account

Prove it before you pay for it. Every step looks for the cheapest way to find out whether the idea works, using your time and small tests before your savings, your home or borrowed money.

One step at a time. Talk to ten people with the problem, shape the offer, set a price, ask people to pay before you build, and find your first ten customers by hand.

Money you can see. Set a spending cap and a stop rule while you're calm. The page tracks every dollar in and out and tells you plainly when you're close to the line.

Before you spend. A ladder to work through before any purchase, cheaper first steps for common early costs, and the warning signs when someone is selling you help.

Looks after you, too. A weekly check-in on how you're going, and where to find free help in Australia if the business starts to cost you too much.

This is general guidance, written without knowing your situation. It isn't financial, legal or tax advice, and it won't promise you results. Registration and tax details are for Australia.

After you pay, you enter your business name (a working name is fine), and your kit downloads as one zip file. Your link keeps working, so you can build it again any time.
