work.”

STEP 1: BUSINESS IDEAS
To start a business you will need to choose or create a business
idea. There a many options from buying a franchise or an
existing business, or looking to others for ideas for a start-up
business. Once you have decided on the business you wish to
start, then the real work begins.
STEP 2: BUSINESS PLAN
Writing a business plan is your next and most important step.
When seeking financing the investors or lenders will want to
read your plan before they supply you with funding. A key
element within the business plan is the marketing plan, which
explains marketing strategies that will be used to advertise and
promote the products or services.
STEP 3: FINANCING
With your business plan in hand, you are ready to go find
yourself some capital. Most small businesses have three
options for financing: friends and family, investors or bank
loans. Each of these options has different considerations for
the business.
STEP 4: GETTING STARTED
You’ve got the plan, the money and the enthusiasm; you’re
ready, right? Not yet, you need to take the legal issues into
consideration. Choose a legal structure: Sole Proprietorship,
Partnership, or Corporation. Your financing decisions will
have an effect on what legal structure you choose.
STEP 5: OPENING DOORS
Where are you going to run your business? Will a home
office do or is commercial space needed to service your
customers. Do you need to hire staff? What are your
bookkeeping needs, do you need an accountant? What taxes
do you have to pay and collect.
