Back-office, handled — without losing control

Starting a business is hard. The paperwork shouldn't be.

Co-COO is the AI back-office guide for home bakers, crafters, makers, and freelancers. We identify every permit, prepare every form, and walk you through every step — in plain English.

Co-COO doesn't do it for you. Co-COO makes sure you never do it wrong.
