Step 1
Decide on the line of business that you would like to develop. If you are inexperienced, be sure to do some market research and write a business plan. Try to choose the market niche with the least competition. Analyze potential target clientele carefully. Think about what the distinguishing features and strengths of your future business will help you make a profit.
Step 2

Until the end of 2011, there is a state anti-crisis program to support self-employment of the population. On it, you can get a government subsidy to start your own business. To do this, you need to contact the employment center before registering the company. There you will be offered to register as unemployed. Then you will have to write a business plan, after which a decision is made to pay a gratuitous subsidy in the amount of the annual unemployment benefit. You will have to spend these funds on the development of your business, for example, the purchase of equipment. The agreement concluded with the employment center will indicate that you are required to report the funds spent within 3 months after receiving them.
Step 4
Find a place to do business. This can be a warehouse, office or retail space. Consider all the available offers on the real estate market. If location is not very important to your business, try to find the least expensive option.
Step 5
At the initial stage, try to do as much work as possible yourself. After most of the functions are debugged, learn how to delegate authority to the hired staff. Your task should be general management of the business, making key decisions and working on development strategies.
