Open your business
without the runaround.
OpenShop guides you through every permit, license, and zoning requirement to open your business — with AI that actually knows your city's rules.
How it works
From idea to open doors — we handle the complexity so you can focus on your business.
Tell us about your business
Answer a few questions about your business type, location, and goals. Takes under 3 minutes.
Get your custom roadmap
We generate a step-by-step workflow of every permit, license, and inspection you need — specific to your city.
Track your progress
Check off tasks, upload documents, and ask our AI assistant any question about local regulations — anytime.
Built for the reality of opening a small business
City-specific, not generic
Our AI is trained on your municipality's actual zoning codes, permit applications, and health department requirements — not a generic national template.
Nothing falls through the cracks
Every step is connected. Dependencies are tracked automatically — you'll never start a permit before you're legally allowed to.
Always know what's next
A clear visual workflow shows exactly where you are, what's blocked, and what you can work on in parallel.
