Pricing

You start with a session, keep your Founder Desk office for free and choose inside: we do it with Founder Works, or you do it with a Founder Desk plan.

The whole path, in three steps

  1. Your initial session

    60 minutes one-on-one with a partner. You leave with a clear answer, your route with the first steps and a signed summary. Plus your free Founder Desk account.

  2. Your proposal or your plan

    If you want us to do it, we send a fixed-price proposal, in writing, within 3 business days. If you prefer to do it yourself, you choose a Founder Desk plan.

  3. You go on with Works or Desk

    Founder Works does it for you; Founder Desk guides you to do it yourself. You can combine them. If you hire Works within 14 days, the session is credited at 100%.

The working session: your first step

It all starts here. One hour with the partner who will sign the recommendation, paid once.

US$97+ VAT

Regular price:US$155 Launch price until January 31, 2027

60 minutes one-on-one with a Founder Check partner, by video call, in English or Spanish.

What you get

  • A 60-minute one-on-one session with a Founder Check partner: Ricardo Mora (Tax & Legal) or Adrián Badilla Morales (Accounting & Finance). What it’s for: You talk to the person who signs the recommendation, not an intermediary.
  • A short form to fill in before the session. What it’s for: The hour goes to your case, not to explaining background.
  • A clear, concrete answer, and whether your case calls for ongoing support. What it’s for: You leave knowing what to do, with no open-ended “it depends”.
  • A recommended route with the first steps and the main risks. What it’s for: You know the order to move in and what to watch first.
  • A one-page written summary after the session. What it’s for: You can reread it, share it with your business partner or accountant, and use it to decide. And it’s saved in your Founder Desk file.
  • Your free Founder Desk account, plus 1 month with every feature and Founder Check’s tax calendar inside. What it’s for: Your virtual office with us: your file, your documents, your messages with the team and your calendar, in one place. The month with every feature is exclusive to the session (without one, it’s 7 days). Founder Desk opens in stages: we let you know when your account is ready.
  • 100% creditable if you hire a Founder Works service within 14 days. What it’s for: The session isn’t an extra cost if you keep working with us.
