# Can Claude start a business for you? What it can and cannot do

Claude can do most of the legwork of starting a business - testing the idea, explaining how to register where you live, preparing the forms, building a website and drafting your first customer messages. It cannot sign, file, pay or decide for you, and on its own it forgets your business between chats. Those limits are why founders pair it with a method and a memory.

## FAQ
Q: Can Claude register my company for me?
A: No. Claude can explain the options in your country, prepare the details and fill in drafts of the forms, but you submit and sign the registration yourself. That is the law in most countries, and it is also the right line - you are the one taking on the legal obligations.

Q: Can Claude build my website?
A: Yes. With the right setup Claude can write the copy, build the pages and help you publish them. You approve what goes live.

Q: Can Claude find customers for me?
A: It can work out where your buyers are, suggest an offer and draft the first message to each place. Sending them, and the conversations that follow, should stay with you - early customers want to talk to the founder.

Q: What does Corey add to Claude?
A: Corey is a free AI co-founder that runs inside Claude. It adds a method for each step of starting a business, a memory of your business that lasts between chats, and researched rule books for your country, so Claude does the work in the right order instead of improvising.

Q: Is it safe to let AI run parts of my business?
A: It is safe when the AI cannot spend, publish or file without you. Corey asks before anything that costs money, goes public or is filed with an authority, and you can see every draft before it leaves.
