A few useful answers

Know what you’re signing up for.

Do I need to know how to code?

No code is needed to create your business brief or choose a next step. Building and operating software may need technical setup; MaxChef and separately scoped help can support that work.

Will MaxNova run my business for me?

MaxNova gives you a focused workspace and proposed next steps. You review decisions, approve handoffs, and measure results. Customer outreach, ad spend, and paid work need their own setup and approval.

Is MaxNova Membership required?

No. Start Free includes your business workspace. Membership is an optional purchase for the benefits listed at checkout. It does not include unlimited builds, hosting, domain registrations, or AI usage.

Is my business plan public?

Your MaxNova workspace belongs to your signed-in account. MaxChef has separate public projects for building in public. Creating a business brief here does not publish it.

Can I bring an existing business?

Yes. Choose the business-owner path and focus on a website, customer enquiries, or repeat work. MaxNova currently keeps one business per account.

A name makes your idea feel real.
