When I saw that [Janet] was offering a “Get Legit Toolkit” to further help me on my path of getting my business organized and helping me to understand my business, I knew that it would be a good thing. Working through the program at my own pace, checking in with Janet at the end of each module, I felt like I was getting the understanding and support I needed to make sure my business was getting the attention (from me) that it needed. I just got back from the accountant and he said I was in the top 1% of the small business owners he sees in terms of having my numbers in order, readable, and ready to go! Thanks to Paper & Spark.

FAQs about the Get Legit Toolkit® 

How is this course taught?

The Get Legit Toolkit® course is delivered via a mix of video, text, and downloadable content. You also have access to a private podcast audio feed of ALL the course content, so you can listen on the go if you prefer.

How is the Get Legit Toolkit® different from the Bootcamp I just purchased?
The Bite-Sized Bookkeeping Bootcamp is set up to help you if you didn’t do your 2024 financial books for your business. It’s very specific to this goal. I walk you through doing a year’s worth of bookkeeping tasks in baby step format. The end result is completed books and you feeling ready to do your Schedule C or turn your final docs over to your tax preparer. 
The Get Legit Toolkit® is a more holistic, comprehensive approach to setting up all the financial aspects of your business. The Bootcamp solves a specific problem – not being ready to do your 2024 taxes – whereas the Toolkit teaches you what you need to get the entire financial foundation of your business set up correctly. We walk through the tasks you need to complete and the concepts you need to learn regarding your financial responsibilities as business owner. That includes banking (setting up a biz bank account), choosing a bookkeeping system and how to keep good books, state sales taxes (getting your permit, charging it correctly, all the in’s and out’s of how this works), state & local licenses, understanding federal income taxes (with a detailed look at the Schedule C), saving for taxes, paying yourself, estimated quarterly taxes, self employment taxes, and finally a thorough walk through of how inventory and cost of goods sold work.
There is some content that overlaps between the two – particularly when it comes to the Schedule C, income taxes, and inventory. Many of my students end up enrolling in both programs because they need help with all the things!
Is this only for Etsy sellers?

No, the Get Legit Toolkit® is platform-agnostic. The concepts in this course are applicable no matter where you are selling, online or offline. Any sort of physical or digital product shop is welcome.

Do I get to ask you questions about the content?
Of course! The course includes access to the private Get Legit Community on Facebook. This is the place where you can ask questions about the course material as you work!
Do you update the course when tax rules change?
Yes – I update the course content continuously as rules & regulations related to small business evolve. Since you get lifetime access when you enroll, the Toolkit is and will continue to be your one-stop resource to learn about all financial aspects of running your shop.
How long will it take me to complete the Get Legit Toolkit®?

The Toolkit is meant to be worked through at your own pace. You will complete some really important foundational steps for your business – like getting your sales tax permit, setting up sales tax in your online shop, and opening a business bank account. Some of these action steps will take time, and others can be done quickly & painlessly online. For most people, the course should take 3-4 weeks to complete, spending about 3-6 hours a week working on it.
