Welcome to STARTUP. A resource to create a business and market your expertise.

Many of us have “grown up” as government employees, accustomed to payroll and W-2s. Traditional employment comes with ease and convenience—no need to consider business development, billable hours or deductible expenses. That said, the leap from government to independent contractor has a LOT of upsides—most notably autonomy and income potential. No doubt there is a learning curve to master the nuts and bolts of running a business, but once established it is straightforward. Seekonk LLC was built from trial and error. STARTUP is a guide from lessons learned. However you structure your post-government career, STARTUP can help you establish and run a “portfolio business” of clients and contracts specific to your interests and expertise.
