## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability venturepulse-startup-legal-formation-guide-ba2c0f7b
```

Example prompt: Walk me through how to legally form a startup in the UK — what structure to use, the step-by-step formation process, rough costs, documents I'll need, and whether we'd qualify for SEIS or EIS tax incentives for investors.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a founder agent needs structured, actionable legal formation guidance for a specific country — especially when investor tax incentives like SEIS, EIS, or QSBS eligibility matter. Prefer over generic legal search when you need step-by-step formation steps, cost estimates, and document checklists in one response. Best for early-stage founders deciding where and how to incorporate before raising funding.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported jurisdiction returns an error or empty result — only 15+ specific countries covered
- Missing required country/jurisdiction parameter results in a bad request error
- Highly jurisdiction-specific edge cases (e.g. special economic zones) may not be fully represented
- Tax incentive eligibility details may be out of date if regulations have changed recently
- Overly broad queries without a specific country may return generic rather than actionable guidance
