Write a Business Plan

A business plan is essential for securing funding and mapping out your growth strategy.
✅ Executive Summary – Brief overview of your business idea.
✅ Market Analysis – Identify your competition and target market.
✅ Business Structure – Define your business type (LLC, sole proprietorship, corporation).
✅ Marketing Strategy – Outline how you will attract and retain customers.
✅ Financial Projections – Estimate costs, revenues, and break-even points.

Example:
For a digital marketing agency:
Monthly expenses = $5,000
Projected monthly revenue = $12,000
Break-even point = 3 months

Choose a Business Structure

Selecting the right legal structure impacts your taxes, liability, and operations.
✅ Sole Proprietorship – Easy to set up; personal liability for debts.
✅ Limited Liability Company (LLC) – Protects personal assets; flexible tax options.
✅ Corporation (C-Corp or S-Corp) – Separate legal entity; more complex taxation.
✅ Partnership – Shared ownership and liability among partners.

Example:
A freelance graphic designer may prefer a sole proprietorship for simplicity.
A tech startup may register as an LLC to protect personal assets.

✅ Choose a Business Name – Ensure it's available and unique.
✅ Register with the Government – File business formation documents.
✅ Get an EIN (Employer Identification Number) – Required for tax and banking purposes.
✅ Apply for Licenses and Permits – Industry-specific permits may be required.
