Business Administration


Your business plan is a snapshot of your business and associated financial goals. Before launching a business, research your target industry and competitors, and if you need outside funding, financial projections that support your request will be required. Make use of templates online to assist you in writing an original business plan. This will serve as a roadmap, laying out how you plan to start and run your enterprise. Choose a realistic location, first and foremost, to give yourself a chance at success.

You need to learn the balance between high-traffic and high-rent, in order to select a viable location and adhere to zoning laws. Low rent often spells no customers, so if you can’t afford the rent for a quality high-traffic location, reconsider your business ideas. Working capital is always in short supply, but has to be enough to cover the first six months. To begin, you must obtain a Tax ID, register a business name, and get a business license. Also, you must select a business structure that matches your operation, whether that’s self-employment, a partnership, or incorporation. Further, if you are planning to hire other people, regulations get complicated very quickly, and you should consider hiring an attorney.
