Find your path
Just left your job to build your own thing?
You are great at the craft — the company used to handle the rest. Now the admin is yours: registering, invoicing, VAT, taxes, contracts. Here is that operational layer, in plain English and in order.
Is this you?
- You can do the work; it is the registration, invoicing and tax side that is new.
- The admin feels overwhelming and you are not sure what to do first.
- You have an idea or product, but no legal or money setup behind it yet.
- You want a checklist, not a 40-tab research spiral.
Your legal setup path (EU)
The same spine every one-person business hits — in the order that makes sense for you.
- 1 Start in the right order Validate cheaply, then the setup sequence for a business of one.
- 2 Choose your legal form Sole trader vs a company vs an Estonian OÜ — what fits when.
- 3 Open a business account Separate the money from day one; it makes everything else easier.
- 4 Invoicing & EU VAT Compliant invoices and VAT/OSS without the jargon.
