For business owners

If your spouse needed your business passwords tomorrow, could they find them?

The Bus Factor™ is a simple, private, offline file your family opens on the worst day of their life, and knows exactly what to do.

Get the file·$99 once ONE FILE. ONE TIME. YOURS FOREVER.

Answer these out loud.

i.
Could they log into your business checking account?
ii.
Could they find your life insurance policy number?
iii.
Could they tell which of your recurring charges to cancel?
Most business owners answer no to all three.

A structured map to everything. Not a will. Not a password manager.

The Bus Factor is the file that sits in a safe, on a USB stick, or in your password manager, and tells the person you love where everything is. Who to call. Where the policies live. Which clients are under contract. Which subscriptions to cancel. What you want said at your funeral.

It is not legal advice. It does not replace your will or your attorney. It is the 30-minute deliverable every business owner means to put together and never does. The one that turns chaos into a checklist on the worst day of someone's life.

Your family shouldn’t need a subscription to open your life.

i.
Your family should not need a subscription to open your life.
ii.

iii.

Quotes are from early pilot users who tested The Bus Factor during development. Identifying details have been removed for privacy.

“I kept telling myself I’d put together something like this ‘someday.’ Took me 30 minutes. My wife said it was the most thoughtful thing I’ve ever done for her.”

Pilot user · Founder, digital strategy firm

“I run a small agency with six contractors and a dozen active clients. If I disappeared tomorrow, nobody would know which retainers to invoice or which contracts expire next month. This file changed that in an afternoon.”

Pilot user · Agency owner

“My financial planner told me to get a ‘family emergency binder.’ I tried three times with a Google Doc and gave up. This actually walked me through it. Done.”

Pilot user · Independent consultant

“The verification dots are brilliant. I opened it six months later and two entries had gone amber. Updated in five minutes. It keeps itself honest.”

Pilot user · E-commerce operator

You’re not the first person to wonder.

I’ll just use a Google Doc.
A Google Doc doesn’t guide you through 14 sections, doesn’t warn you when info goes stale, and doesn’t generate a printable snapshot your spouse can hand to an attorney. You’ll open a blank page, type three lines, and never come back. We’ve all been there.
I already have a will and an estate plan.
Good. A will tells lawyers how to distribute assets. The Bus Factor tells your spouse how to survive Tuesday. Which subscriptions to cancel, who to call at the insurance company, where the password manager recovery key lives, which clients need to hear from someone this week. Your attorney doesn’t have that list. You do.
Is my data safe?
Your data never leaves your computer. There is no account, no cloud, no server. The file lives on YOUR machine: a USB stick, a safe, your password manager vault. If the company that built this disappeared tomorrow, your file still works. Forever.
What happens after I pay?
After payment, you’ll receive a download link by email within minutes. One HTML file, one JSON file. Drop them in a folder and double-click to start.
What if I need help filling it out?
The guided wizard walks you through 15 questions, one at a time. No blank page, no guessing. Most people finish the first pass in under thirty minutes.

One price. Yours forever.
