The business-in-a-box for independent pros

Start and run your own business in an afternoon.

StartMyOwn gives braiders, cooks, cleaners, coaches, and every kind of independent pro the whole thing at once: a real website, your own business phone line, an AI assistant that answers your customers, bookings with deposits, payments to your bank, loyalty, and marketing that runs itself. From $29 a month.

Everything a one-person business needs

A real website, built for you

Tell us about your business by text. Your site — copy, photos, logo, colors you chose — is live in minutes, with your own address.

An assistant that answers

Your own business number. Texts, calls, and website chat answered instantly — bookings taken, orders placed, questions handled.

Get paid properly

Deposits that stop no-shows, invoices customers sign with a finger, gift cards, memberships — all landing in your bank.

Customers who come back

A loyalty punch card that lives in their phone number, review requests after every visit, and we-miss-you offers — automatic.

A home caterer plating soul-food dishes in his kitchen
Plates by the pan, paid before you cook.
A personal trainer coaching a client in a neighborhood gym
Every session booked, reminded, and on your card.

One family, every trade

Each StartMyOwn site is built for how your trade actually works — same trusted platform underneath.
