How the files work

Each file is a one-page PDF in the size of the book page, 6 by 9 inches, and every page carries this line in its footer: Free to copy and use. Credit the source: Rented Intelligence, continuousengineering.press

A worked example is the same form filled in for On-the-Line, the running company in the book, and the page says so. The book shows each example in the chapter that uses it and explains how to fill in each form.

Some forms touch legal and tax topics. They are tools for your own venture, not legal or tax advice, so have a professional review anything you rely on.

47 files, 2.4 MB in all. Each link shows its type and size.
