How it works
Your business moves through six stages. Sales runs alongside every one of them.
1. Foundation
Form your company, open its accounts, set up books and records, and line up your advisors.
2. Project
Acquire a specific, identified solar facility from a GoBien network solar provider and sign your customer agreement.
3. Build
From closing to commissioning: approve the design, track the installer, and take part in inspection.
4. Launch
The first ninety days: monitoring, invoicing, and settling into a monthly rhythm.
5. Operate
Run the business: production, maintenance, warranty, customer, lender, records.
6. Grow
Add a second facility or new services once the first is running smoothly.

Who it’s for
People who want to run a real operating business, not a passive holding: owners willing to give the business the attention a responsible owner gives any small business. You don’t need technical solar expertise, just the willingness to learn and ask questions. Good fits include self-storage and other buildings with large simple roofs and long-term owners.
