                       Steps For Starting a Business

              Starting a business involves planning, making financial decisions, doing market research, and acquiring knowledge
              in areas you never thought you would learn about before. If you are planning to start your own business, then you
              should follow certain steps:
               Step 1    Plan and finalise a business idea: This is a very important step where you make a choice of starting
                        your own business with your planned idea. This could be:
                        •  Something you are interested in.
                        •  Something related to your skilled learning.
                        •  Something that the market requires.

               Step 2    Plan and finalise your finances: Before you implement your business idea, you need to have a clear
                        picture of your financial status. You need to figure out how much money you'll need to start your
                        business and let it survive for at least a year without profits. The money you are planning to invest in
                        business will be:
                        •  Taken from your savings and personal assets.
                        •  Borrowed from banks or any other financial company.
                        •  Utilised from the profit of some other business.
               Step 3    Choose your legal business structure: Here, you decide whether you want to be a sole proprietor, or
                        if you wish to start a business in a partnership, or you plan to start a Limited Liability Company. After
                        this, you finalise aspects like business name, tax details, employee details, etc.

               Step 4    Finalise the business location: Here, you finalise your business location based on the location of your
                        target market, business partners and your personal preferences. You plan to buy, rent, or build the
                        prime location. Factors like access to talents, network opportunities, business and investor friendliness,
                        low taxes, etc. play an important role in this.

               Step 5    Build your team: Depending on the size of the business, the team needs to be built. Job roles to be
                        assigned, number of full time and part time employees required, different departments to be created,
                        etc. are the factors to be taken into account while building a team.
