How do I start a small business?

How to start a small business?

  • i am currently working as a dog groomer, but i have been thinking of starting my own small business for a few years now. some ideas i had are dog walking, gardening services such as mowing lawns, weeding and planting, illustrations (i went to college for art), or hair cutting. are any of these ideas worth pursuing? what is required to start your own small business? if you started your own small business do you have any tips for me? how did you get started? thank you!

  • Answer:

    I started my business of repairing electrical equipment for the welding industry in 1985. All I did was fill out the DBA form (Doing Business As) at the county clerk office, and then got my sales tax exemption from the office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts. That's all of the legalities. It's easy! With this done, you can then open your company checking account at the bank. Now, With a college education in art why would you want to walk dogs or pull weeds for a living? I would think something like the Advertising Business would be a better use of your education and a lot more profitable venture.

while it is a good idea to keep all your options open, in advanced "career theory"---we keep to a philosophy.... HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF SKILLS/LEARNINGS. YOU said you have an art degree. It would make sense to exploit this since you paid to learn it. I can guide you further [write a biz plan, do market research, etc.]
