Powered by insights from over 850,000 small businesses, ZenBusiness Velo™ provides expert-backed, custom guidance and a do-it-for-you experience that helps entrepreneurs speed through formation, compliance, and licensing documents, build websites, and accelerate growth
The launch of Velo reflects ZenBusiness’s broader mission to remove barriers to entrepreneurship and help more people succeed on their own terms
AUSTIN, Texas, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ZenBusiness®, the AI platform providing trusted guidance for small business owners, today announced the launch of Velo, a new AI agent designed to streamline the most complex, time-consuming parts of starting, protecting, and growing a business.
Powered by insights from starting over 850,000 small businesses, Velo helps entrepreneurs automate routine but vital business operations–like regulatory filings, research, and website creation–while also delivering personalized, adaptive support that helps entrepreneurs get ahead of hurdles and grow with more confidence. Available 24/7 and backed by an award-winning customer support team, Velo is designed to save time, reduce risk, and increase the success rate of small businesses at scale.
Entrepreneurship in the U.S. has surged since 2020, with over 5 million new business applications filed annually, a 67% increase from 3.3 million in 2019, yet starting and running a business remains complex and sometimes overwhelming. Meanwhile, small business owners know that it’s increasingly vital to adopt AI to streamline their businesses and compete, but many don’t have the time or resources to truly take advantage of new technology. Velo was built to provide entrepreneurs with personalized, step-by-step guidance tailored to their specific industry, size, and stage, while also providing a “do-it-for-you” service that simplifies the most complex and time-consuming tasks. Right from the start, Velo delivers actionable insights small business owners can rely on and a dependable experience they can trust.
“Starting and growing a business comes with countless unknowns. We built Velo to remove friction and give small business owners the clarity and confidence they need to move forward,” said Ross Buhrdorf, CEO and co-founder of ZenBusiness. “Entrepreneurs today are expected to do everything, but they shouldn’t have to do it alone. Velo combines powerful AI automation with real human support, so founders can move faster and be more successful without second-guessing every step. With Velo, ZenBusiness is extending its capabilities beyond business formation and compliance, using AI to help entrepreneurs manage complexity, reduce risk, and make smarter decisions as they grow.”
Unlike generic AI tools, Velo is purpose-built for entrepreneurs and informed by years of learnings from ZenBusiness customers. The platform adapts to each user’s needs through an interactive dashboard, surfacing timely recommendations and automating tasks behind the scenes. From personalized onboarding to ongoing compliance tracking and dedicated support, Velo is designed to serve as an always-on companion for business owners at any stage. ZenBusiness’s customer care team is also there when users need a human touch – reinforcing Velo’s role as a reliable partner, not just a piece of software.
While many small business tools offer fragmented support for specific tasks, Velo brings them together in one place, with the long-term goal of serving as the intelligent control center where entrepreneurs can take action and get answers. Velo also takes a “do-it-for-me” approach, automating compliance documents, business licenses, or website creation, so entrepreneurs can focus on doing more of what they love.
“Too many entrepreneurs are left to figure things out on their own and simply don’t have the resources or guidance to get it right,” said Mark Cuban, entrepreneur and advisor to ZenBusiness. “That’s why Velo is a big deal. It gives small business owners access to smart, personalized support for the first time ever. ZenBusiness is helping level the playing field, and I’m excited to be part of that mission.”
ZenBusiness will continue expanding Velo’s capabilities over the coming months, including tools for invoicing, tax readiness, and financial planning. The platform is available now to all ZenBusiness customers. For more information, visit zenbusiness.com.
