What this means here
The point is simple: handle the pieces that make the business real before they become cleanup work.
Startup foundation
Complete Startup System Package
A practical beginning-to-end setup package for new owners who want the core legal, financial, and public-facing pieces in place before the business starts operating.
Why handle this up front?
Starting is hard. Cleaning up a half-built foundation is harder.
New businesses run into enough real-world pressure with sales, cash, pricing, and operations. This package focuses on the foundation a real business needs first: registration, tax setup, banking, books, basic presence, and the first support relationships.
5 years
The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks new-business survival by opening year. Recent summaries of BLS data show that roughly half of new U.S. businesses reach their fifth year.
Planning also matters, but the strongest read is practical: planning works best when it stays tied to learning and execution. A Journal of Business Venturing meta-analysis found a beneficial planning-performance relationship across small firms.

What this covers
The core foundation handled from beginning to end.
The work is organized around the pieces that need to function together so the setup is useful when the business starts operating.
Formation
Business registration, EIN, state tax setup, vendor licensing, and S-Corp filing when applicable.
Financial Setup
Relay banking setup and QuickBooks structure so the books have a usable foundation from the start.
Business Presence
Domain, email, basic brand pieces, listings, social presence, business cards, and a basic one-page website.
Resource Coordination
Insurance quote coordination, legal consult coordination, and introductory guidance on owner benefit topics.
Included work
Built around the setup pieces new owners usually need first.
Business Formation And Registration
We coordinate the basic registrations and filings needed to get the business identity in place, including EIN setup, business registration, state tax registration, vendor licensing, and S-Corp filing if it applies.
Financial System Setup
We help set up the banking and QuickBooks structure so the business has somewhere for money to land and a usable accounting structure before transactions start piling up.
Business Presence Setup
We handle the practical public-facing pieces: domain, email, basic logo direction, business cards, Google Business listing, Facebook page, and a basic one-page website.
Support And Resource Coordination
We coordinate quote and consult touchpoints for insurance and legal review, plus introductory information on retirement and health plan options so the next decisions are not left floating.
How this is scoped
The package is priced as a complete setup service.
The internal model behind this offer was built from real setup tasks, estimated time, coordination work, and outside costs that may apply. That keeps the public offer simple while still tying the price to real work.
One package price
$1,995
Outside costs
Confirmed before work begins
Optional add-ons
Enhancements can be discussed after the core setup is clear.
These additional pieces may make sense depending on how the business will sell, communicate, hire, and follow up after the core setup is clear.
Phone And Payroll
Business phone setup and payroll service setup can be scoped once the operating needs are clear.
Listings And Lead Sources
Additional social, directory, BBB, Angi, Thumbtack, Nextdoor, and similar setup can be quoted as add-on work.
CRM And Automation
CRM, sales automation, and AI chatbot setup can be discussed separately when the business is ready for that layer.
Important notes
What should be confirmed before work starts.
Government filing, registration, vendor license, and state fees may be paid separately by the client.
Domain, email, hosting, software, printing, and provider subscriptions may be billed by outside vendors.
Third-party provider charges stay with the provider. Best Decision Bookkeeping coordinates setup and orientation for the agreed scope.
The timeline depends on receiving client information, payment details, approvals, and required business decisions in a reasonable timeframe.
Custom requests outside the package may require a separate quote.
Next step
Talk through the foundation before the business starts moving.
A startup setup call confirms fit, timeline, outside costs, and which details we need from you before work begins.
