Every business has to start somewhere. Starting a new business can be the most exhilarating (and often terrifying) endeavor a person can undertake. Technology can play a extremely important role to get your business venture off the ground quickly.
The process of piecing together an offering has to be handled with care to avoid potholes that many small businesses hit, such as:
- A lack of financial resources.
- The consideration of local competition.
- The lack of proper planning.
- The confusion resulting from inconsistency in business over the first few months of operation.
Ultimately, if you are building a business from the ground up, you'll need to manage the resources that are available to you in the most efficent manner possible.
The Small Business Administration of the United States government has put together some resources for entrepreneurs. The SBA website lists ten steps to consider when starting a business. As listed, they are:
- Writing a Business Plan
- Get Business Assistance and Training
- Choose a Business Location
- Finance Your Business
- Determine the Legal Structure of Your Business
- Register a Business Name
- Get a Text Identification Number
- Register for State and Local Taxes
- Obtain Business Licenses and Permits
- Understand Your Responsibility
These tasks are all integral facets of starting a business. Every potential business owner should consider that once these tasks are complete, and only then, should they begin a strategy of how their worksite and workflow are to be structured. Once these tasks are finished, business owners can then decide how best to use the capital they have access to. What do you need to properly run your business? If you are starting a retail store, you'll need a dedicated point of sale system. If you are starting a software company, you'll need a computing infrastructure.
