Questions
Isn’t this information free?
The rules are public and we link to every official source. The kit saves you the hours of piecing them together, plus templates, a town hall comparison and a timeline — and it’s updated when fees or rules change.
Is this an agency service?
No — it’s a do-it-yourself guide. If you’d rather have someone handle everything, use our free matching with agencies instead.
Refunds?
If the kit doesn’t help you, email us within 14 days for a full refund.
