Starting a contracting company means more than estimates and schedules. Field now gives you a launch path for formation, EINs, insurance, workers' comp, licensing, bookkeeping, payroll, safety, suppliers and growth—then Baby AEGIS helps you figure out the next move.
This is a practical sequence, not one-size-fits-all legal or tax advice. Your state, workforce and trade can change the order and requirements.
Choose your structure, register the business name and complete required state filings.
Apply directly with the IRS when your business needs a federal Employer Identification Number.
Verify state, city and trade requirements before advertising or performing regulated work.
Review liability, workers' comp, commercial auto and bond requirements with licensed professionals.
Business banking, bookkeeping, taxes, payroll and customer payments should not live in personal accounts.
Use official safety guidance, training and documentation that fits your actual work.
Website, reviews, estimates, follow-up, scheduling, invoicing and payments should work together.
Grow payroll, coverage, systems and marketing before operations become chaotic.
These government resources are not BeEasy referral partners and BeEasy does not receive compensation when you use them.
Business structure, registration, tax IDs, permits, business banking and insurance basics from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Partners are independent providers. We won't label somebody “preferred” or “vetted” until that has actually been verified.
Connect with licensed insurance professionals familiar with contractor risk and customer requirements.
State-specific coverage questions need a licensed professional who understands your workforce setup.
Coverage resources for work trucks, vans, trailers and business-use vehicles.
Find official requirements and request independent help for licensing, permitting or bonding.
Connect with professionals who can help build cleaner books, tax records and financial processes.
Set up payroll, onboarding and workforce administration as you move beyond working alone.
Route questions that actually require legal advice to licensed counsel rather than software.
Build separation between personal and business money and strengthen the financial foundation.
Supplier accounts, equipment rentals, fleet and purchasing resources as the network grows.
We use the request only to route you toward the category you selected. Provider services are independent from Field software.
Once the foundation is right, keep leads, estimates, scheduling, projects, documents, payments and growth workflows connected in one contractor platform.
