Any entrepreneur can tell you just how difficult it is to bootstrap a new business from the ground up. This is doubly true for those of us starting a business right here in the Las Vegas valley! Beyond providing an excellent service and earning the trust of your very first customers, you have to navigate a complex minefield of regulatory requirements and fees across the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, and the State of Nevada.

It is both an extremely exciting and stressful time. Budgets are tight, and as the founder, you are personally responsible for getting every single moving part off the ground:

• Setting up business bank accounts and payment systems
• Designing the website and routing the phone systems
• Handling bookkeeping and strict government filings
• Chasing down business licenses for every jurisdiction you operate in
  

The penalties for missing something you didn't even know you needed can be brutal. And that’s all before you even get to look at your actual core business operations!

For us at KirHut, our core is managing IT infrastructure. So while handling the administrative side of a new startup, we’ve simultaneously been vetting world-class cloud providers, documenting seamless client onboarding procedures, testing hardware configurations, and investing in specialized security tools to ensure our own cybersecurity posture is bulletproof.
