Meaning of small Business
● Small business is defined as a privately
owned corporation, partnership, or sole
proprietorship that has fewer employees
and less annual revenue than a
corporation or regular-sized business.
STEPS TO START SMALL BUSINESS
1.Conduct market research:
● Market research will tell you if there’s
an opportunity to turn your idea into a
successful business. It’s a way to gather
information about potential customers
and businesses already operating in
your area. Use that information to find a
competitive advantage for your business
2.Write your business plan
● Your business plan is the
foundation of your business. It’s a
roadmap for how to structure,
run, and grow your new business.
You’ll use it to convince people
that working with you — or
investing in your company — is a
smart choice.
3. Fund your business
● Your business plan will help you
figure out how much money you’ll
need to start your business. If you
don’t have that amount on hand,
you’ll need to either raise or
borrow the capital. Fortunately,
there are more ways than ever to
find the capital you need.
4.Pick your business location
● Your business location is one of
the most important decisions
you’ll make. Whether you’re
setting up a brick-and-mortar
business or launching an online
store, the choices you make could
affect your taxes, legal
requirements, and revenue.
5.Choose a business structure
● The legal structure you choose
for your business will impact
your business registration
requirements, how much you pay
in taxes, and your personal
liability.
6.Choose your business name
● It’s not easy to pick the perfect
name. You’ll want one that
reflects your brand and
captures your spirit. You’ll
also want to make sure your
business name isn’t already
being used by someone else.
7.Register your business
● Once you’ve picked the perfect
business name, it’s time to
make it legal and protect your
brand. If you’re doing business
under a name different than
your own, you’ll need to
register with the federal
government, and maybe your
state government, too.
9.Apply for licenses and permits
● Keep your business running
smoothly by staying legally
compliant. The licenses and
permits you need for your
business will vary by industry,
state, location, and other factors
8.Get federal and state tax IDs
● You’ll use your employer
identification number (EIN) for
important steps to start and grow
your business, like opening a bank
account and paying taxes. It’s like
a social security number for your
business. Some — but not all —
states require you to get a tax ID
as well.
10.Open a business bank account
● A small business checking
account can help you
handle legal, tax, and day-
to-day issues. The good
news is it’s easy to set one
up if you have the right
registrations and
paperwork ready.
How to Start a Small Business at Home
● Identify your small business idea.
● Start as a side business or hobby.
● Decide on your software.
● Create a business plan.
● Decide whether you’ll be an LLC or sole
proprietorship.
● Create a business bank account.
● Determine if your business idea works well
From home.
Example
● Pet Sitter
● Do you have a passion for pets?
Consider becoming a pet sitter.
While the pet’s owners are away
on vacation, either host their pet
at your home or make visits to
their home. Join a pet sitting
service like Wag to get started.
Conclusion
Starting a small business is complex, time-
consuming and life-altering. There are many
more things that go into running it than just
providing the product(s) or service(s) that your
business offers, however. You’ll also be
responsible for your business’s finances,
protecting your business and personal assets,
keeping your business legal, paying taxes,
keeping records, managing employees and
more.
