“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and

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.
