AI-Powered Guidance
  • Nature of Service

    Business Genesis uses artificial intelligence (Anthropic Claude) to provide conversational guidance about starting and running a business. The AI assistant helps you explore ideas, understand requirements, and navigate business formation.

  • Not Professional Advice

    Business Genesis provides general information and guidance only. It is NOT a substitute for professional legal, tax, financial, or business advice. Always consult qualified professionals before making business decisions.

  • Accuracy Disclaimer

    While we strive for accuracy, AI responses may contain errors or outdated information. You are responsible for verifying all information independently before taking action.

Government Data and Opportunity Matching
  • Data Sources

    Grant, license, and permit information is sourced from public government databases including Grants.gov, U.S. Census Bureau, state agencies, and municipal open data portals. Data is refreshed regularly but may not reflect real-time changes.

  • No Guarantee of Eligibility

    Matching you with a grant or program does not guarantee eligibility or approval. Eligibility determinations are made solely by the granting agencies. We do not influence or participate in application decisions.

  • Verify Before Applying

    Always verify grant deadlines, requirements, and eligibility directly with the issuing agency before applying. Program details may change without notice.

  • Attribution

    Grant data is provided by Grants.gov. Economic data from the U.S. Census Bureau. State and local data from respective government agencies. Use of this data does not imply government endorsement of Votion or its services.

Formation and Integration Services
  • Stripe Atlas

    If you choose to incorporate through Stripe Atlas, that service is provided by Stripe, Inc. under their separate terms of service. Votion facilitates the connection but is not responsible for Stripe Atlas services.

  • Partner Recommendations

    Business Genesis may recommend third-party services (banking, payments, accounting). These are recommendations only; you are not required to use them. We may receive referral compensation from some partners.

  • Votion Integration

    Verified transit operators may integrate with the Votion marketplace. Other businesses are placed on a waitlist for future platform features. Waitlist position does not guarantee future access.

Limitations
  • No Liability for Business Outcomes

    Votion is not responsible for any business decisions you make based on Business Genesis guidance, or for the success or failure of any business venture.

  • Service Changes

    Business Genesis features, data sources, and AI capabilities may change without notice. We may limit, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.
