Here are some startup tools, apps, etc that you’ll need to set up with your new business. We’ve also asked for additional discounts here at Plan to Start, so I’ve listed them below.
Not only do over 80% of small businesses use Quickbooks for their business, but they’ve now taken Quickbooks online. Intuit GoPayment is also a much better alternative to Paypal for accepting payments, GoPayment only takes a flat .50 cents for every transaction. They’re also offering a free card reader for your phone.

BizFilings has free tools we love to help you choose the right structure for your business. Second, they offer cheap registered agent services (you need one if you’re an LLC or corporation). Third, they can file for you…especially good if you’re filing in a different state for tax reasons.
This one lived up to it’s name, making our startup financial projections, equity and investor calculations EZ. Graphs, founder’s equity, investment calculations, pro-forma, P&L’s, expenses, revenue…etc. What I personally like about it, was you could use it to project simple business proformas, but you could also use it for something more complicated if you needed to. Scalable. The founder, Paul, has been a trusted proforma advisor to startups for years as well. He still does some startup financial consulting I believe.
