Business Roadmap

Tell us where you actually are

Answer what you can. An incomplete intake still produces a Roadmap — the gaps are reported rather than guessed, and we come back to you before building it.

1. About you and the business

Only what we need to reach you and understand who we are advising.

Your name*

Email*

Business name

Leave blank if you do not have one yet.

Industry

Location or service area

Website

If you have one.

2. The idea or the business today

In your own words. This is the single most useful answer on the form.

What is the business, or the idea?*

What you do or want to do, who it is for, and how you would make money.

3. Where you are now

Is the business registered?

Are you earning revenue?

Have you spoken to real potential buyers?

Has anyone paid you yet?

Do customers come back or renew?

Who are your current customers?

4. What you can put in

Ranges only. We never ask for exact balances, account numbers, or a Social Security number — and we do not store them.

Roughly how much do you have available to start?

Roughly what could you spend monthly?

How much time can you give this?

What would this need to pay you to be worth it?

Financial Constraint ModeTurn this on if money is tight. Your Roadmap will prioritise free official resources, low-cost alternatives, temporary manual processes, and actions that help you earn — and will tell you plainly what not to pay for yet. Mandatory compliance is never delayed without telling you.

5. What is already in place

Separate business bank account?

Recording income and expenses?

Written agreements with customers?

Business insurance?

A business website?

Written-down delivery process?

Anyone else working in the business?

Tools and assets you already have

Software, equipment, a following, a customer list — anything you can build on.

6. Goals and barriers

What matters most right now?

Target launch or growth date

How do you feel about risk?

What is getting in the way?

Have you hit banking or credit barriers?

Category only — please do not include account numbers, balances, credit scores, or report details. We do not collect those.

Hiring goals

Investor goals

Nonprofit or community goals

Asset goals

Legacy goals

What you want this to become, or leave behind.

Anything else we should know?

7. Before you submit

Please confirm each of these. We record your acknowledgment with your intake.

The Nick Martin Builds Business Roadmap is educational and operational guidance. It is not legal, tax, investment, accounting, or credit advice, and it does not create an attorney-client or other professional relationship. Cost figures are estimates, not quotes, and vary by state, provider, and circumstance. Nothing in the Roadmap guarantees revenue, funding, credit approval, liability protection, or any particular outcome. Items identified as requiring professional review must be decided by an appropriately licensed professional. Verify all filing requirements, fees, and deadlines with the relevant government agency. Nick Martin Builds is not a law firm, accounting firm, tax-preparation firm, registered agent, credit repair organization, or investment adviser.
