ZenBusiness is about to get down to, um, business.

On Tuesday, the company announced that it closed a $15 million Series A funding round.

ZenBusiness has created an online platform that helps people create, manage and grow their small businesses. There’s a lot of logistical work that goes into that process, so ZenBusiness offers to take care of some of that work to make it easier for entrepreneurs to focus on their ideas.

“The expense, effort and knowledge required to start a business today is prohibitive, and entrepreneurs report feeling overwhelmed and isolated when it comes to making decisions about their business,” CEO of ZenBusiness Ross Buhrdorf said in a statement.

To help, ZenBusiness offers services like getting your Employer Identification Number, filing required documents, setting up a business website and more. The company has multiple yearly plans that range in price, depending on what services you want from ZenBusiness.

The company launched publicly in 2018 and since then thousands of small businesses have used its platform. ZenBusiness says it’ll help launch its millionth business by 2023.

The new funding will help ZenBusiness expand its footprint and add more features to its platform.

Added Buhrdorf: “We are the only online platform that leverages automation, Machine Learning and the collective power of a large community of like-minded business owners to offer unmatched business services. Together we are on a mission to revolutionize how small businesses are created and run.”
