Millions of employees dream of starting their own business. However, not everyone embodies this dream. After all, a business needs not only to be opened - it must work smoothly and, of course, generate income.
Instructions
Step 1
Realistically assess your capabilities. In order for a newborn business to reach self-sufficiency as quickly as possible, it should not require large financial investments. Restaurant business, manufacturing - everything that requires renting large premises, obtaining numerous licenses, purchasing expensive equipment and raw materials - guarantees that you will reach the cherished break-even point no earlier than in a year. It will be possible to talk about profit even later.
Step 2
But marketing, educational services, consulting practically do not require investments. In these areas, the main thing is people. If you have a few well-connected specialists in mind, it is quite possible to organize them into a team. True, these options also have pitfalls. Your people can leave and start their own business, much like your own.
Step 3
Do not open clone businesses, arguing that if there are already nine vegetable stalls on one street, then there will be a place for your tenth one. Come up with your own original idea. For example, open a family bakery, where you will bake and sell branded baked goods yourself, rather than opening a bakery with an assortment of assortments in the nearest supermarket.
Step 4
Assess your capabilities - primarily financial. Please note that most banks do not give loans for opening a business. If you are sure that your business will generate quick income, you can take the risk and take a regular consumer loan. If in doubt, it is better to rely only on your own money.
Step 5
Ask what areas of business in your city are supported by the authorities. Information can be obtained from the City Hall, in the department of the consumer market. Perhaps the city is interested in street trading, specialized catering establishments or home kindergartens. The support of the authorities (perhaps even financial) is a powerful incentive for the successful development of one's business.
Step 6
If you do not work, you can register with the local employment service and declare your desire to receive a government subsidy to develop your business. You will have to take an initial entrepreneurial training course (organized by the employment service), and based on its results, write a business plan. If your plan is realistic and well laid out, the chances of getting a subsidy are very high. This option is good for opening mini-printing houses, bakeries, canteens and other small single businesses.
