About

This little workshop was hosted by Braden, Nik, and Matt to walk through how to set up an LLC in Colorado, get an EIN, and then set up payment and banking with stripe and mercury.

Stripe is nice because it allows programmable access to everything credit card processors allow. Holds, recurring payments, etc. But it is not a bank.

Mercury ads that same level of customizability to your bank account(s) too, so both Lander & ION run with mercury bank accounts connected to stripe connected to our front end sales systems. (For ION, Crowdfiber. For Lander, Thrivecart)

With these tools, you can build basically everything you've ever seen any company do anywhere in the world in a day for your own business! Any payment/checkout system, any billing/followup process, any team delegation process or project budget allocation. Anything.

No calls to banks, ID checks, no phone calls, no nothing. all online and instantly accessible.

Then as we mention on the call you can plug all this into a product like bench and your small company now has an accounting and tax department too.

This presentation is a part of a series of free trainings the Lander team makes available to all of our staff, volunteers, and contractors to help everyone work smarter!
