FAQs about the Get Legit Toolkit®
No. I have a few Etsy-centric tutorials, but the concepts in the Toolkit are universally applicable no matter where you sell. Any sort of handmade shop owners, e-commerce sellers, or even brick & mortar retailers are welcome!

No. I review a few bookkeeping options in this program, including Paper + Spark spreadsheets, but none are included. The program is not specific to whatever bookkeeping system you decide to use.
Yes - I keep the course updated as rules related to small business taxes evolve. Since debuting it in 2017, there have been changes with income taxes & the Qualified Business Income deduction, online sales taxes, and more. The Toolkit is and will continue to be your one-stop resource to learn about all financial aspects of running your shop.
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.
I strongly recommend you only enroll in this course if you're based in the US. Although there is some universally applicable content, many of the lessons focus on US tax rules.
