                 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.
                 Step 6:   Target  the  prospective customers: Through target advertising,  surveying customers,  customer  support
                         services, etc., you can reach your customers. Through them you have a fair picture of your customers' likes
                         and dislikes and your improvement areas.
                 Step 7:   Promote the business: This helps you to bring your business straight to potential customers. It can be done
                         through advertisements on TVs, radios, newspapers, social media, etc. If it is a small scale business, then
                         promotion may be done through pamphlets in newspapers.
                 Step 8:   Feedback in the long run: It is important to take feedback from the customers in the long run. You can use the
                         feedback to improve your product and reach out to a larger group for future expansion of the business.
