The solo-friendly slices are tools and workflows *around* money, reconciliation, reporting, automation, rather than businesses that actually hold or move funds and inherit the licensing weight.

A turnkey solo 401(k) setup, contribution-tracking, and tax-optimization platform for the 16M+ Americans who are full-time self-employed but stuck on IRA-only plans because solo 401(k) paperwork feels intimidating, capturing the $25,000+ annual tax-advantaged contribution gap.
Group health insurance purchasing co-op for freelancers to access rates similar to corporate employees.
A digital-first insurance brokerage tailored to creators, freelancers, and solopreneurs, bundling business liability, equipment coverage, health insurance options, and income protection in plans designed for non-traditional careers. The trusted advisor layer between confused 1099 workers and an industry that ignores them.
A flat-fee, advice-only equity compensation planning service for startup employees holding stock options, deliberately not selling financing or taking a cut of any transaction, unlike the dominant players in the space.
A rent-payment credit-reporting partner program for independent landlords and small property managers, who can't easily offer this tenant perk themselves, letting them add credit-building as a differentiator and retention tool without adopting a full property management platform.
A checkout-plug-in warranty and protection-plan product for small Etsy, eBay, Poshmark, and independent Shopify sellers, the same thing Extend, Clyde, and Mulberry already do for large retailers, but their sales motion and integration effort skip past small individual sellers.
