Problem

When professionals aged 50-60 with 25-30 years of specialized experience (IT, accounting, design, education, etc.) attempt to transition to Solo Entrepreneur status, each industry requires different permits (education service registration, e-commerce seller registration, professional license utilization), tax types (VAT, comprehensive income tax, withholding tax), and social insurance conversion procedures. This information is scattered across multiple government portals, tax authority websites, and local district offices, requiring an average of 2-4 weeks of research or approx. $375-$750 in administrative/Tax Accounting consultant fees. Most people get stuck at the first step: identifying 'what business forms are possible given my career field.'

Solution

Users select their previous occupation, held certifications, and desired business form (Freelancer/one-person corporation/sole proprietorship) on the web, and the system displays the required permits, application sequence, estimated costs, and timeline. Each step directly links to 'where to apply (government portal links, local office contacts).' The key differentiator is 'Career-to-Business Recommendation': entering career keywords returns 3-5 similar career transition cases with a comparison table of required permits for each business form.

Target: Aged 50-60, approaching retirement or within 1 year post-retirement, 20+ years of professional experience, considering Solo Entrepreneur or Freelancer transition
