Claude, with Corey

I want to start a dog-walking business in Reading.

Before you spend anything, I'll check who would pay and what walkers near you charge. I'm saving what we learn to your company files, so you won't have to explain it twice.

Can I call it Pawprint Walks?

Checking the company register, the domain and the social handles now.

Your company files

  • Business profileSaved
  • CustomersSaved
  • Competitors and pricesSaved
  • Name and domain checksNext
  • Registration and taxLater
  • First ten clientsLater
Illustrative example. Corey keeps what it learns as plain files, and yours follow your idea and your country.

From idea to first customer

Tell Corey where you are. It does the rest.

Pick the one that fits. The example shows what Corey does at each step: the doing, not just the advice.

Example: A dog-walking service in Reading, UK

  1. Test the idea

    I want to start a dog-walking business in Reading.

    Corey · ResearcherBefore you spend anything: who pays (busy owners near you), who already does it and what they charge, and whether the numbers work at the price people will pay. You decide whether to go on.

  2. Name it

    Can I call it Pawprint Walks?

    Corey · ResearcherI check the Companies House register and whether the domain and social handles are free, and give you two backups in case it is taken.

  3. Make it official

    Do I need a company?

    Corey · BookkeeperProbably not yet. In the UK a sole trader just registers with HMRC and can start straight away. I explain when a limited company would make sense, prepare the details, and you submit.

  4. Get online

    I need somewhere to send people.

    Corey · BuilderA simple site with your prices, area and a booking form, in your voice and set up to be found on search. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

  5. First customers

    How do I get my first ten clients?

    Corey · MarketerWhere your buyers already are (local groups, vets, the park at 8am) and the first message for each, drafted for you to send.

  6. Keep it running

    What do I do every week?

    Corey · Co-founderA morning brief: who is booked, who has not paid, what to post. Your books stay tidy and every deadline gets a reminder.

Example: Handmade candles sold online at weekends, UK

  1. Is it a business yet?

    I sell a few candles a month. Do I need to tell anyone?

    Corey · BookkeeperI check the tax rules on side income for your situation (in the UK, HMRC and Self Assessment) and tell you the point at which you need to register.

  2. Price it properly

    Am I actually making money?

    Corey · ResearcherWe cost every candle - wax, jars, postage, fees, your time - and set a price that leaves a margin. Most side hustles undercharge.

  3. Name and brand

    I want it to look like a real shop.

    Corey · ResearcherA name you can own, checked against Companies House and free domains, and a one-page brand to use everywhere.

  4. Your own shop

    I only sell on one marketplace.

    Corey · BuilderA simple site of your own next to it, so you keep the customer and the margin, set up to be found on search.

  5. More sales

    How do I sell more without losing every weekend?

    Corey · MarketerA content plan that fits a busy month, with posts drafted ahead for the one or two places your buyers actually are.

  6. Keep it running

    What about the boring bits?

    Corey · BookkeeperSales and costs logged as they happen, so the tax return is a check rather than a scramble, with a reminder before every deadline.

Example: A freelance designer with a few regular clients, UK

  1. Should I go limited?

    Everyone says I should be a limited company.

    Corey · BookkeeperMaybe. I compare sole trader and limited on your real numbers - tax, admin and liability - and show you the trade-off. You confirm with an accountant before you commit.

  2. Set up the company

    OK, let's do it.

    Corey · BookkeeperName checks, the company registration (Companies House in the UK), a business bank account and your tax registrations, prepared step by step. You sign and submit.

  3. Get paid properly

    My invoices are a Word document.

    Corey · BookkeeperBookkeeping set up from day one, invoices with the right details, and late payers chased: polite, then firm, then the statutory interest.

  4. A site that sells you

    My portfolio is out of date.

    Corey · BuilderA portfolio site with case studies in your words, written to be found by the clients you want next.

  5. Fewer gaps between clients

    Work comes in waves.

    Corey · MarketerA short list of clients worth approaching, why each one, and the first message to send. You decide who hears from you.

  6. Keep it running

    I hate the admin.

    Corey · Co-founderA morning brief, VAT and filing deadlines tracked, and your books checked before they reach the tax office.

One brain. Every job.

Your whole early team is one Corey.

No crew to manage and no handovers between tools. One co-founder that remembers everything about your business, switches hats and gets the job done.

  • 01Co-founderRemembers your whole business, decides the next job and gets it done.
  • 02ResearcherChecks who would pay, who already does it and what the rules are, with sources.
  • 03BuilderBuilds your website, your booking form and anything else that needs making.
  • 04MarketerFinds where your customers are and writes the first message to each.
  • 05BookkeeperSets up the registrations, keeps the books and hits every deadline.
  • Never spends money without asking
  • Never publishes without your approval
  • Never files anything with a tax office or registry for you

Why not just ask Claude?

The method matters more than the model.

By hand

Free, and slow. Weeks of government websites, forums and conflicting advice. Easy to miss a step you only hear about at the first deadline.

Claude on its own

Brilliant, but guessing. It answers from training, forgets your business between chats and improvises the order of things.

Claude with Corey

Researched and remembered. A playbook for every step, 53 knowledge packs that are sourced and dated, and a memory of your business that lasts.

Who it is for

Built for solopreneurs. Ready for startups.

Why I built Corey

I built Corey to run my own company, Presso Network, and it still does: the books, the VAT, the marketing and this website.

The hard part of starting a business is rarely the idea. It is the hundred small steps nobody tells you about, in the right order, while you still have a day job. Most people with a good idea never start because of that list.

So I am giving Corey away free to anyone starting out. It does the legwork. You make the calls.

    My idea: [describe it in a sentence or two]
    I'm based in: [your country]

    3. Test the idea honestly: who would pay, who already does it, and whether it is worth doing.
    4. Then take me step by step from idea to first customer, using the rules where I am, starting with the one thing to do this week.

Questions, answered

More questions →
No. You add Corey to Claude with one click, sign in, and then you just talk to it. If you can write a message, you can use Corey.
Yes, for solopreneurs. Nothing is locked and nothing expires. You need your own Claude Pro plan to run it. Startup teams that want Corey set up and run for them pay for that, at a price agreed up front.
Yes. Corey is free for solopreneurs, and we set it up for startup teams too: one Corey everyone works with, one shared memory of the business, and the tools you already use. Get in touch and we will agree the setup and the price up front.
Yes. Corey works from the rules of the country you tell it. The UK has the deepest playbooks today, and there are rule books for Germany, France, Spain, Denmark and Greece, with more countries added all the time. Where a local rule is not covered yet, Corey says so and tells you what to check.
It researches, drafts, builds and keeps track on its own. It always asks before anything that costs money, goes public or is filed with an authority. Those calls are yours.
You can, and Corey runs on Claude rather than competing with it. What it adds is the method for each step, a memory of your business that lasts between chats, and knowledge that is researched, sourced and dated instead of recalled.
