The Basics

Here’s your no-BS checklist to get the business going. Don’t overthink it—just tick things off, and let’s get moving.

• [ ] Electronics

  • [ ] Phone
  • [ ] Laptop

• [ ] Business Email Consistency is key to maintaining professionalism when you’re talking to employees and partners. Here's a list of platforms where you can host your business email:

  • Business Google Suite - Paid, but they might sell your data.
  • Proton Mail - Paid, privacy-protected.
  • Google Account ([email protected]) - Free, but let’s be honest, it’s a little less polished.

• [ ] Business Phone Number Your personal number? Keep it private. Business lines? Everyone’s gonna have it.

  • Google Voice - Free with Google Suite.

• [ ] Cloud Storage You need a private space for all that important company stuff. Share it when necessary, but always remove access when people bounce.

  • Drop Box
  • Google Drive
