Business tips: How to start a business

  • Develop a business plan: This is the blueprint for your business! It defines your business, identifies your business goals and objectives, and establishes your strategy for how to achieve those goals.
  • Market your business: To market your business, you need to know your audience, establish your strategy and objectives, set your value proposition and capitalize on the promotional channels that work.
  • Determine licensing requirements: Consult the Small Business Administration (SBA) or local chamber of commerce to learn more about zoning regulations or other laws that may pertain to your business.
  • Determine business costs: Review your business’ operating costs, including building, equipment, salary, and other potential payments to ensure that you are ready to start your business.
