Compliance Tool
Never accidentally exceed your state's sales cap
Track every dollar you earn — online, at farmers markets, and through delivery — against your state's cottage food revenue limit. One ring tells you exactly where you stand.
The problem
Every state has a cap. Most sellers lose track.
Most cottage food laws set an annual revenue limit. Exceed it and you could lose your right to sell, face fines, or be forced to get a commercial license. A spreadsheet works until it doesn't.
Caps vary wildly
Oregon caps at $20,000. Texas at $50,000. Florida at $250,000. New York has no cap at all. The tracker knows your state's limit and applies it automatically.
Multiple channels add up
You sell at the farmers market on Saturday, fulfill online orders during the week, and do a few delivery runs. All of those count toward your cap. The tracker combines them.
Consequences are real
Exceeding your cap can mean losing cottage food eligibility, mandatory commercial licensing, back taxes, or enforcement action from your state health department.

Everything the spreadsheet can't do

Channel breakdown
See how much of your cap you've used from online, farmers market, delivery, and other channels — with visual proportions.
Multi-year history
Compare year over year. See trends. Never start the year wondering where last year's numbers ended up.
Custom cap override
Set your own personal cap below the state limit. Running a side business and want to stay under $15K? Set it and the ring tracks against your number.
Threshold alerts
The ring turns amber at 75% and red at 90%. You'll never be surprised by a cap you didn't see coming.
