PermitPilot

PermitPilot helps side-hustlers avoid the most common early failure: getting shut down, fined, or blocked by platform rules because they missed a permit, license, insurance, or tax registration. You pick your hustle (mobile car wash, home bakery, resale, tutoring, handyman, pet services, etc.), your location, and where you’ll operate (home, client site, online). The app generates a realistic compliance checklist with links to official forms, estimated fees, lead times, and “gotchas” (zoning, HOA rules, sales tax nexus, food safety, contractor thresholds). It also tracks deadlines and stores documents so you can prove compliance to clients, landlords, or marketplaces. This is not glamorous, but it’s the boring stuff that kills momentum. The MVP should focus on a handful of high-volume hustles and expand city-by-city as data improves.
