How to start a Business



The reason to start a business differs from person to person it could be financial, a dream of doing your passion, or doing something new in your life. Whatever your reason is you must start something on your right track, or you’ll end up with disappointment, heartache, and most of all, an empty wallet.

First off, what questions you need to ask to yourself when starting a business

1. How many hours you need in a day for it?
2. How much is the capital?
3. What kind of business I would start?
4. Where will I get the capital?
5. Where will I put it?
6. And the last is, How do I start a Business?

Here are some steps to give you an idea in starting a business

Step 1: Is the Business for you?

You have to make sure that starting a small business is what you really want. There are some instances that some people make their business because of the freedom and being in control but most of them are not into managing and operating a business, they can only specialize in one aspect of the business but not the whole of it.

Step 2: Decide on what kind of business you want

What kind of business do you want venture in? is it on service or retail business. Does your business will be online or have a physical location.

Step 3: Is there a market?

Every successful business has a market where the business reaps its profits. The flow of money should be going in, not going out. Research and ensure people what you want to offer.


Now you should have a general idea the business that you will do.

Running a business requires experience, knowledge and passion. With or without experience you must have the knowledge to minimize mistakes and to overcome your challenges. You can always gain the experience, but don't you think you should have the knowledge before getting the experience?

If the thought of a lot of responsibility, dealing with problems, working long and hard, and not having a steady paycheck gives you a scary feeling in your gut, think it over, running your own business may not be for you, and you might be better off looking into improving your current job situation.

Whether or not owning and operating a business is right for you, it's your decision and you're the only one qualified to make that decision. Take time to research and consider what's best for you.
