• A device you control. A phone or computer that's yours, kept updated and secure — that's where your keys live.
• A plan for your backup. Decide where your recovery phrase will go (offline, two safe spots). Getting this habit right early makes everything after it easy.
• Your coins and chains. Think about which currencies your customers use, so you're ready to switch them on.
• Your business basics. The usual details you'd have for any payment setup.

That's it. Line these up and you'll be ready to start when the door opens. Questions on any of it? Ask below.
