consider all options. don't play safe\nsetting up a business is a huge responsibility\n\nTo look into\n\n1. Business plan\n2. Business marketing plan\n3. Financial plan / Start-up loan\n\nHave you checked to make sure your business name is available?; Have you registered your business?; Have you checked and registered your trademark?; Do you need a business licence?;Have you got insurance?;Do you have a business account?; Do you have an accountant?; Have you created a budget?; Can you get to the phone and electrical sockets easily?; Will your furniture fit in the space?; Do you have sufficient light and ventilation?; What is the temperature like in the office?; Do you have enough storage?; Have you all the equipment that you need?; Computers, telephone, fax machine, printer, scanner, etc...?\n\nWould you invest in all that or would you for an alternative like say, a virtual office?

Find out what services are offered through your local agencies (state, federal, local, religious, private) and see if you can volunteer as a helper at some level.  This will both give you a network of contacts within the community as well as an idea what services aren't provided in your area.\nIf the service you want to provide ISN'T anywhere near you, then try contacting a remote location by phone or email and see what they went through to set their business up.  Typically these organizations are more than happy to talk about how to provide help to others...it's what they do!

There is no rule of thumb for this because it depends so much on the type of business you are looking at,its situation & how you want to launch it.Will you buy or rent a property or work from home?What equipment do you need & can it be bought in good condition 2nd-hand & thus save money?Why lawyers' fees?Does the type of business need a lawyer's input at this stage?What about accountants?They can be more useful in advising on the type of business to start with i.e sole trader/partnership/limited company?How to keep simple records,VAt registration,PAYE if you expect to have employees etc.I would advise finding a properly qualified accountant in a small practice.Their fees are usually less & you should get better treatment.the big firms are both horribly expensive & rather stuck-up.(Sorry,but I know a lot about this particular subject!)\n\n\n Why not do research via trade organisations etc & thus save \nhiring market reseachers?

You may want to read the article "Most Common Questions Asked When Starting a Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol45/questions.htm for information on getting tax number, business registration, etc.\n\nStarting a small business takes a lot of courage. But, as they say, courage does not pay the bills. To be successful – to stay in business – you need more than courage. You need a combination of hard work, skill, perseverance, and lots of luck. \n\nSome things you need to consider:\n- "How can I support my family while I build up by business?" \n- "What are my abilities?" \n- "Is there a market for the product or service I have chosen?" \n- "How long will it take this business to reach the financial goal I have?" \n\nYou may want to read the article "How to Start a New Business Successfully" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol51/launch.htm , which lists six steps to launch a new business successfully:\n\n1. Provide a benefit.\n2. Determine the fit with your market.\n3. Right timing is everything\n4. Be ready to support your business\n5. Develop a blueprint for success (your business plan)\n6. Market, market, market\n\nYou may want to read the article "10 Things You Need to Know When Starting Your Own Home Business"  \nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/startingbiz.htm\n\nI recommend that you read the following books:\n\n- What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business : Real Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs \n- Starting From Scratch: How To Start A Business When You Don't Have Money \n- If You're Clueless About Starting Your Own Business and Want to Know More \n- On the Move : How to Succeed and Survive As an Entrepreneur \n- How to Make 1000 Mistakes in Business and Still Succeed\n\nAs for getting professional help (lawyers, accountants), they are great but not really necessary. If you are willing to do what they can do and want to save the money especially if you have a shoestring budget, then you can do the tasks yourself. But they are very helpful in terms of allowing you to focus on what you do best, while they take care of important things for you. Read the article "How to Select the Right Professional Help for Your Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol83/professional.htm to help you choose the best outside experts to help you in your business\n\nYou may want to consider getting a mentor to help you steer your business to success. There are several places where you may be able to find a mentor: \n\n- Government Mentoring Programs such as SBDCs, which works with community colleges and local business development councils to offer mentoring programs http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html ; or the Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training http://www.sba.gov/womeninbusiness/wnet_roundtables.html \n\n- Volunteer programs such as SCORE http://www.score.org  which is composed of mostly retired executives and entrepreneurs \n\n- Formal mentoring programs such as Athena Foundation http://www.athenafoundation.org/programs/globallinks.html  , Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program http://www.helzbergmentoring.org/HEMP/  , or The Aspen Institute MicroMentor Program http://www.micromentor.org \n\n- Professional organizations such as the National Women’s Business Council http://www.nwbc.gov/Mentoring/programs.html \n\n- Industry and trade associations \n- Local business groups, such as the chamber of commerce \n- Local chapters of business groups

I work for a consulting/recruiting company.  I would say the first thing to do is establish a relationship with the client.  Get on the phone and make the calls.  Have lunch.  Get that first meeting.  Provide real customer service, not just communication through email.  In the first meeting, your only goal is to get a second meeting.  Spend some time before you go to this first meeting learning about the client company so that you have something to talk about and it will show that you are knowledgeable about the field.  In this first meeting, learn about the person you are with, hobbies, goals, kids, whatever it is that sparks conversation.  If you show up with the intention of selling your company and services, you're just going to be another salesman.  Become someone your client enjoys spending time with and doing business with.  Then you have a chance that when your client has a project, they will send you an RFP (request for proposal).  Then is the time to sell your company.  Research and write an awesome proposal.  Be aware that there are probably a few companies bidding for the same contract.  Hope this helps.

Most of my experience has been in the States, however, I have consulted with people from around the world.  Here is my basic advise that should be helpful to you:\n\nAnytime you want to start any kind of business, there are several basics that you will need:\n\n* You should first sit down and think about what it is you want to do and then write out the scenario in detail!  This may sound tedious, but it will help you clarify what it is you are thinking about.  Also, when you talk to anyone about the business (mentor, bank, clients, prospective investor), you will have a clear vision to share with him or her.  You can check any number of books at your local library or the Internet for ideas on creating a business plan or goals list.\n\n* Is there anyone out there doing something like what you want to do already?  Can you research what it is that they do and maybe even talk with them about what they do?\n\n* Are there businesses out there that are doing some aspect that you want to do?  In this case, you want to create an online drop shipment business.  What websites have you seen that you like (can you talk with them)?  How does the local McDonalds or other retail outlet do business that might help you in yours (i.e. how is McDonalds able to provide a product to a customer on demand at almost anytime of day – and do it with a much of high school kids)?\n\n* Never listen to anyone who says that you CANNOT do something UNLESS they have been there and tried that!!!!!  Anyone can tell you the good things that you can try or do, however, only someone who has actually tried the specific thing your are thinking can truly give you advise on the pitfalls that could await the unsuspecting.\n\n* If you want to look for a mentor (free or paid – although mentors usually offer their time at no cost), the question that you should be ready to address is WIIFM (What In It For Me {the mentor})!  What are you willing to do for your mentor to help them with something that they may need (for me it’s simple – I am looking for 10 points :-)\n\n\nContacts:\n\n* Contact your local Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce – they have business people who will help start up operations.\n\n* Contact your local high school, community college or university and find out whom the teachers are for courses related to your business (like business or computer/internet classes).  Contact these teachers to get some ideas or even to see if they will take you company startup on as a class project or special project for some of the student to work on (might give the students extra credit and you a free startup).  In the worst case, you might get the names of some good students whom you might hire to do certain aspects of what you need at a very low cost.\n\n* Contact you local, county or state governments (check their websites) – many areas have small business administrations (or some other agency that can help with various things) that have any number of references and resources available at little or no cost.\n\n* Go to your local library in the Reference Section and find the Encyclopedia of Associations.  It is a three-book set published by Gale Research.  The first book lists thousands of tiles of professional organizations and groups.  It will give a code number to use in the other two books to find out more about that organization.  Contact the organizations who have something to do with your idea and find out if they have a services to give you advise or local groups that you can network with.  In many cases, just asking for membership and publications information may give you a lot of useful stuff.\n\n\nOther outstanding sources that I have used in running my four businesses:\n\n* Nightingale-Conant – the largest producer of audio/video training programs in the world.  Many of their programs can be borrowed for free from local libraries.  http://www.nightingale.com\n\n* Entrepreneur Magazine (http://www.entrepreneurmag.com) – many great tip

Get a marketing pack together containing details and flattering images of the retreat. You may have to hire a designer if you do not have these skills yourself. (Look at the marketing done my similar retreats to your own for ideas of what works and to see who designed theirs). \n\nThen send the packs out to the human resource departments at larger companies or organisations. \n\nGet a website and then look at search engine advertisement services to make sure that people see it.\n\nGo to business fairs with marketing packs to meet people and make contacts.\n\nGood luck

You need to have the desire to manage yourself and other people. You need the financial backing to be able to run the business for 6 months without any income. You will need to contact your local city hall and check to see what licenses you will need? both civil and professional. ie. a Business license and also a handyman or contractors license. \n\nYou will need to arrange for insurance (liability and workmans comp) DO NOT SCIMP ON THIS if you or your employees get hurt (accidents DO happen) you will need this.\n\nSo once you have the right paperwork, a place to do business, and the insurance. You will need to develop a client base. Then its just a matter of growing the business.\n\nSome advice: There is always some idiot who will work for nothing, so when someone says "I can get that for half of what you want" and you know what your costs are and you are making your markup (40% gross to realize a 10% net or whatever you decide on - get a cost accountant to help you)LET THAT JOB GO. You are in business to make money not work for free.\n\nI'd rather go fishing than work for free .. at least I get to eat that night.

I think your first step would be to volunteer at one first. Once you get the hang of it you'll have MANY connections to start your own.
