It's really not as difficult as it seems just some effort that will seem like nothing compared to actually running your own business.\n\n1. You will need to register your business "DBA" at the County Clerk\n2. The city your business will be located in will need you to register for tax purposes this is the BUSINESS LICENSE\n(many small businesses have the city taxes waived for the first 3 years to help with development)\n3. Get a business Bank account.\n4. get your resale license (http://www.boe.ca.gov/)\n\nThere are some serious things you need to consider and doing some research will help you organize your business and have less headache. Make sure once you've done some research on what type of business you'll be starting (sole proprietor, partnership, LLC, corporation etc) you follow the correct order of steps to acquire your status as business. It will keep you from running around in circles and it will save you from potential penalties and or delays.\n\nWhen I started my first business I used went to Boarders and picked up a book by nolo press "how to open up a California business in 24 hrs" http://nolo.com/resource.cfm/catID/9FA25870-14F1-4657-9778F19FB41FB93D/111/228/\nThere are many books that are specific to steps required to open it in CA just do some research it will make this seem less daunting.\nGood Luck

Is there any way you could go into business for yourself?  If you are your own employer then you don't have to worry about getting hired.  Of course, if you do anything that requires financial investment, then you will have to deal with banks or whoever is your source of capital.

You need to register as self employed with the Inland Revenue (HMRC) within the first three months of becoming self employed, or you can be fined.  Go to the HMRC website (listed in the sources below) for more info, or call 0845 9154515, which is the helpline for the newly self-employed. You can register by calling that number.\n\nHope it helps!

I have been self-employed and I have worked in public work both. You have several questions which are extremely relevant and crucial to you if you are considering going into business for yourself. I can give you the information I have from my own employee and employer status and probably it will make more sense if I make lists for you so here is my effort.....\nSelf -employed benefits\nYou are your own taskmaster, you decide what is to be done and when.\nYou are the one in control of how much money you allow for your salary , what your work is worth\nYou have a much better tax break opportunity as everything you put into the buiness you have is taken off the top of your income, somethings must be depreciated but that can be a good thing.\nIf you are ill you can take it easy and still go to work for a short while or hire a temporary employee to help get it taken care of until you are 100%\nIf your child or spouse has a dinner or sporting event you can make things work out so you are free to go or even to coach or direct something.\nYou have more time to become involved in your community as part of the governing body or festivals and such.\nAnd finally if you ever want to be independently comfortable the only way you can do it is by owning and operating your own business because you get all of the money made up front, before anyone or anything else puts their hand into it. You get to keep more of the money you make and not pay so much out in taxes or childcare or the cost of going to work every day has gotten to be staggering these days with just putting fuel in a vehicle.\n\nThe disadvantages of being self-employed\n\nYou are the one responsible to keep the buisness running at a certain level of operation that is acceptable to whomever you are selling your product to, or you won't keep their business very long.\nYou are the one who is going to sacrifice during the lean first few years where your wages are concerned. A lot of people can't take the stress after a year or so and fold. You must always believe you will succeed and never quit unless it is a case of the bank quitting you first! /then be ever careful of the past repeating itself and if it is a ongoing trend then cut your losses and get out before this happens. this way you can start agin with a new venture and the bank will be behind you. Always take care of the ones that you depend upon befre you worry about yourself and you won't ever have to worry about yourself!\nYou have to watch the competition and you have to upgrade to the competitive level or you won't be able to compete and that means death to a business. If you can't upgrade to competetive levels then don't compete, you can't win! Turn to another area of the buiness and expand it or I suppose diversify is the word I am looking for here.\nIf you hire people to work for you, this is a major headache most of the time, because they are going to leave you high and dry when you need them the most if you are not generous to them with a bonus for extra work well done or if they never see you doing the things you make them do. In other words you have to get dirty every day to keep their respect and if you ever have to fire one or lay them off it is a hard thing to do. VERY HARD THING TO DO!\nThere are a lot more but I will stop there due to the forum we are in.\n\nThe benefits of being an employee\nYou don't have to worry about anything except getting there on time, doing a decent job at what ever you are put ot doing, you get to go home and leave it there for the bosses to worry about if it didn't get done on time, and you usually receive benefits of insurance that if you own the business you have to pay through the nose to set up for the employees and you don't usually have very much coverage for yourself.\nYou are ensured by the federal government that the workplace will be safe and non-hazardous to your health.\nYou know how much money you are going to bring home every week

For complete information about planning for and starting your own small business, see the Small Business Administration website at http://www.sba.gov  Take a look at the startup kit and lessons.  It is probably something you can start now while you are working, and keep getting a paycheck while you get all the other stuff in order.\n\nBefore investing time and especially money on any home-based businesses, it’s a very good idea to educate yourself on the different types of schemes there are out there, and what to look for – and look out for – before picking a home-based business. The Federal Trade Commission has several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes. \n"Work at home Schemes" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm \n'Net Based Business Opportunities: Are Some Flop-portunities?\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/netbizop.htm\n"The Bottom Line on Multilevel Marketing Plans" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/pyrdalrt.htm

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. Type "(your industry) associations" into any search engine & sites will pop up.\n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* How to Really Start Your Own Business, Fourth Edition by David E. Gumpert\n* How to Really Create a Successful Business Plan: Step-by-Step Guide by David E. Gumpert\n* What No One Ever Tells You about Starting Your Own Business: Real-Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs (What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business) by Jan Norman \n* Business Start-Up Kit by Steven D. Strauss \n* Start Your Own Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) by Rieva Lesonsky\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
