How to start a business

If you are asking yourself how to start a business, you have come to the right place!

First of all congratulations on looking into small business marketing before you even start your new business. You would not believe just how many businesses think of marketing as an after thought.

Starting a new business should be very exciting - but also scary and confusing. And while marketing is an essential element, it is by no means the only consideration. You will need to look into:

• What small business will be best for you
• Who your customers will be
• Producing a business plan
• What costs will be involved
• Where to find funding
• How you will manage your finances
• Whether you will need to employ staff
• Inland Revenue implications.....

the list goes on and on.
