  1. Checklist for Starting Your Own SMB

  2. At first glance, starting a business can seem like an impossible undertaking. And it’s true that opening up your own business does require a lot of effort. The important thing to do when starting a business is planning ahead and then making sure you hit all your milestones in a timely fashion. Here’s a starting-your-own-small-business checklist, just to make sure you’ve checked all the boxes that need to be checked.

  3. Think of a Good Business Idea The perfect business for you won’t necessarily be whatever can bring the most profit. A good business must fit you personally, and it must also be compatible with your target market and your location. Since you’re going to be in this business for a while, pick something that you won’t mind doing for years and years to come.

  4. Do Market Research How can you tell how well your business will actually perform in the real world? You need to do market research. Get out and talk to real people and ask them if they’d want a business in that area, and if they’d be customers. Target a wide variety of people to see how your idea sits with them.

  5. Write a Formal Business Plan • If you’re planning on starting your own small business, chances are you are looking for funding. Lending institutions like to see a business plan to get a clear idea of what kind of company you’re looking to open. • They want to see your short-term and long-term financial plans, your target market, your projected sales, and all of that good stuff. Lending institutions want to see that you’ve thought this through, and that you’ll be a reliable borrower who will return the money in a timely manner.

  6. Do Some Branding Make sure your business is unlike any other in the market today. To do that, think of a brand name, and come up with a creative logo. Then, decide on a brand message, or your selling proposition. How will you encourage customers to flock to your business? You will also need to identify your brand’s tone of voice, which will inform the way you write emails, blog posts, and Instagram captions – it’s the voice of your business!

  7. Set Up Your Business Once you’ve secured the funding you need, it’s time for the exciting part: setting up your business! Find a good location for your business, and make sure you get insurance. The kind of insurance you’ll be buying will differ depending on what kind of business you’re running. Figure out the kind of staffing you need, whether it’s full-time, part-time, or freelance employees. Then, interview them, and hire the ones who are the best fit!
