Small Biz Account Ledger

Stop store pages, domains and payment accounts from being locked by ex-staff

Problem
An owner found their Facebook page had been created years ago under a manager's personal account and the manager wouldn't hand it over; the shop had the bank, booking and payments, but not the page customers actually see. Smaller versions, like a domain under an ex-employee's name or an email tied to a former staffer, are common.
Solution
An account-ownership ledger for small businesses: record who registered each public-facing account (social, domain, payments, booking), the linked email, recovery method and handover status; generate an actionable recovery/handover checklist and remind when key accounts go too long without review.
Users
1-20 person small businesses without IT staff and owners taking over someone else's business
MVP
Account entry templates (platform/registrant/linked email/recovery method); ownership risk scoring and to-do list; exportable PDF handover sheet; periodic review reminders
Revenue
Monthly subscription tiered by account count; one-time paid handover report for transitions
Why now
Small businesses keep stacking digital accounts and staff turnover is high; lockout incidents are being widely discussed
