 TEN STEPS TO STARTING A BUSINESS

1. Develop a concept from industry experience and work history (do what you know).

2. Create a business plan showing who, what, when, where, why, and how (convince yourself  
          that it will work).

3. Use business plan to determine and obtain startup capital (convince others  that it will 
         work after you convince yourself, first).


4. Incorporate or form  an  LLC (liability protection, taxes, image, reduced audit risk).

5. Obtain Employer Identification Number (EIN) (taxes and hiring).

6. Open a business bank account (funnel all transactions through one account).

7.  Get required licenses (occupational, specialty).

8.  Set up accounting software
 (cash flow, manage business, taxes).
 
9.  Form a support team consisting of :
              Attorney -    Leases, contracts, employment agreements
              Banker -   Bank account, credit card, financing
              Certified Public Accountant -  QuickBooks, accounting, taxes
              Insurance professional -  Property, liability, workers' compensation
              Realtor  -  Brick and mortar location, leases, building
              Mentor -  Someone who has done this before.
​

10. Implement marketing plan - nobody knows you are there! - everyone has competition
              (website, target markets, direct mail).
