Ignition

Zero to operational.
The foundation layer.

Entity. Banking. Bookkeeping. Payroll. Compliance. Operations. The unsexy work that makes everything else possible.

The Problem

Most founders DIY their business setup. Wrong jurisdiction. Wrong entity type. Banking nightmares. Compliance gaps that surface at the worst possible times.

They spend weeks on LegalZoom, Stripe Atlas tutorials, and Reddit threads. Then six months later, they're restructuring because they got it wrong.

IGNITION handles the foundation so you can focus on the business. Done right. Done once.
