PermitPilot

PermitPilot helps side hustlers avoid the most common early-stage killer: selling something without the right permits, licenses, or tax setup. You answer a short questionnaire (location, business type, where you sell, what you sell, whether you hire help), and the app generates a realistic compliance checklist with links, estimated fees, and time-to-approval ranges. It also tracks deadlines (renewals, sales tax filings, local business license renewals) and stores documents in one place. This is not legal advice; it’s a practical navigator that reduces confusion and wasted time. The MVP focuses on a handful of high-demand side hustles (food pop-ups, home bakery, cleaning, mobile car wash, tutoring, online resale) and expands by state/city over time. Monetization is subscription plus optional paid “concierge” help for form-filling and appointment scheduling.
