Good to know Every number in the EXAMPLE files belongs to a made-up business; it isn't a market rate or a recommendation. Templates aren't legal advice. Have your own professionals review them. The tools help you run your business; they don't guarantee income or results. Texting or emailing clients: message only people who gave you their number or email, honor every STOP or unsubscribe request right away, and get a client's written consent before sending marketing texts with an automated tool. Marketing emails need your postal address and an unsubscribe option (CAN-SPAM). Some states, including Virginia, add rules such as allowed texting hours. This isn't legal advice. This is a cash-basis bookkeeping tool, not tax or accounting advice; the tax set-aside is a savings guide, not a tax calculation. Ask a tax professional what applies to you. Employment rules (forms such as Form I-9 and W-4, state new-hire reporting, pay-transparency, posters, workers' comp) differ by state and city. The checklists are general reminders, not a complete list, and the offer letter is a template to have an employment attorney review. This kit doesn't decide whether someone is an employee or a contractor. Never store passwords, PINs, full account numbers or recovery codes in these files; record where they're kept, not what they are. This binder is a planning and record-keeping tool. It isn't a legal document, will, power of attorney or succession plan, and doesn't give anyone authority over your business or accounts. Ask an attorney and your bank about those. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot are trademarks of their owners. This kit isn't affiliated with them. Excel .xlsx workbooks, no macros; formulas tested in LibreOffice (Google Sheets and Excel open-tests pending). Each kit's own Start Here guide and page list the notes that apply to it.
