Problem

Small Business Owners in their 50s hiring their first employee after running a solo business must simultaneously handle social insurance enrollment, mandatory employment contract clauses, and minimum wage calculations — mistakes result in fines of ~$225-$375. Hiring a labor attorney (~$150+/mo) is burdensome, and the Ministry of Employment and Labor website guides are written in legal jargon that's difficult to apply in practice.

Solution

Input employment type (full-time/part-time/daily) and pay structure to auto-calculate social insurance filing deadlines + amounts / Provide a 10-item mandatory employment contract clause checklist with risk explanations for omissions / Export a first-month filing calendar as PDF

Target: Ages 50-65, Small Business Owners within 2 years of post-retirement startup, about to hire or just hired their first employee, in food service/retail/services
Revenue Model: Guides and checklists free, employment contract draft generation at ~$3.70/mo / Per-transaction referral commission for labor attorney connections
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
