Why Yeşil Erik?

The information was always free. Nobody showed the way.

Green plum is a fruit most Americans have never tried, just like the entrepreneurs this page is for. When I arrived twenty years ago, I met gatekeepers who hoarded free information and scared newcomers off. I built this guide so the next person doesn't go through that.

— Mustafa M. Bahar, founder

An EIN is always free

Some sites charge $50 to $319 to file the same free IRS form. We send you straight to the IRS.

2025
Official guides are now English-only

In December 2025, the SBA took down its pages in other languages. Here, every resource can be explained in Turkish.

120 days
State rules get missed

In New York, for example, a new LLC that doesn't publish a notice in two newspapers within 120 days has its authority to do business suspended. You'll see rules like this for your state ahead of time.

How it works

Do it yourself first. A person steps in when you need one.

Launch path

10 steps, 39 tasks. From your idea to your LLC, your EIN to your Google profile, each step says what to do and which free resource to use.

Business checkup

Already open? 27 quick questions in 7 areas. You get a grade for each area and a next step for every gap.

Ask your AI

A ready-made prompt for every step, filled in with your details. Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and you're asking the right question with the right sources.

Ask Mustafa

Stuck, or facing a decision? Write in. Mustafa sees where you are in the path and answers you himself.

For your state

Official links and the rules people miss

To start, six states have registration, sales tax, and free-advisor links checked against official sources. More states are coming.

Arizona California Florida New Jersey New York Texas
California

Every LLC pays an $800 annual tax, every year, even if it isn't operating.

Florida

The annual report is due every year by May 1; missing it brings a $400 late fee.

Arizona

Sales tax is called TPT here, and you need an EIN before you apply for the license.

Pricing

The guide is free. Or we can do it for you.
