I’m trying to start a small business, and I know exactly what I want to do, but I have no idea where to start. I know I need equipment to provide the service my business is based around, but other than that I’m clueless. I’m sure I have to get a business license in my county/state whatever, but is it important to create a website and possibly set up social media accounts to advertise? Do I need to get a new phone/phone number strictly for business purposes? This probably sounds like a jumbled mess, but I guess what I’m really asking is how do I take this from an idea to a functioning business? Appreciate any help or advice anyone has to offer!
Here are some basics
Get capital, let’s say you only need $1000 to start save $3-5000 and spend money like you only have $1000.
Start advertising asap you can get an LLC online. It’s super simple.
Get a separate bank account with debit card.
Save every receipt and transaction. It’ll pay off when you go legit and need to do actual bookkeeping.
For my business I have a whole separate phone for the business it made it a lot easier when I hired my office manager.
Make money first before you go over the table once you are in business for a year or 2 then go I’ve the table.
That’s just some tips, message me if you have more questions. Good lucky!
