**•** Setting up a proper business phone number is way more complicated than expected — most providers advertise “unlimited calls” but bury the real limits in the fine print **•** TikTok now wants an actual Certificate of Incorporation to verify a business account — wasn’t expecting that **•** X and Pinterest don’t have built-in music like TikTok/Instagram/YouTube do — every platform needs its own sound sorted separately, more work than it sounds **•** The government reminds you about business tax before you’ve even made a sale — motivating **•** Needed a proper contract drafted so refund disputes don’t leave me exposed **•** Turns out a privacy policy isn’t just a copy-paste job — it actually needs a solicitor’s eyes on it to be worth anything **•** The boring infrastructure stuff (DNS records, email verification) ate way more time than anything creative
