Workspace
Your studio in 7 stages: tax, team, IP registration, launch and revenue.
What it isOverview
Workspace is a guided panel that walks you through the formal side of running a studio, in order: your studio, registering with IRS, your team, intellectual property registration, launch, revenue and a final summary. At each stage you check off what you've done and see what's next, what it costs and how long it takes. It works without an account; if you sign in, your progress is backed up to the cloud and feeds the Studio Dashboard's Compliance Tracker.
