If you promised it deliver it.

you're not getting paid because you offered to do it for free. chalk it up as a life lesson. sales 101.

going forward, you need to position your service for what it is. Dealing with government BS so the client doesn't have to. and set that expectation early there will be problems but that's what your there to deal with(for a price). You need to explain how much pain and frustration your saving them.

And if they can't appreciate what you are doing for them you need to find other customers.

Yes, keeping a note for future. When we accepted the order, EIN was a 3-4 day process and suddenly everything went chaos with the covid impact. But surely a lesson managing expectations.
I know one thing I would like a button to close a company down. I still get letters from the state from all kinds of agencies I have know idea about. quarterly reports I didn't file.
Thanks for the input. We are trying to figure this out now. It should be easy to start a company, but more easier to close one down.
