At some point in life, every person wants to start and run their own business. But in most cases, these startups are reported to have failed and closed down in the first year of operation primarily attributable to poor planning before launching the business and failure to update their strategies.

 key important steps to follow include;

  1. Identify your business idea: Start by identifying a business idea that you are passionate about and that fills a need in the market. Conduct market research to ensure there is a demand for your product or service. 
  2. Create a business plan: A business plan is a roadmap for your business that outlines your goals, target market, competition, pricing, marketing strategy, and financial projections. It is important to have a well-thought-out plan before starting your business. 
  3. Determine your business structure: Decide on the legal structure of your business, such as sole proprietorship, partnership, or LLC. This will affect your tax obligations, liability, and legal responsibilities. 
  4. Register your business: Register your business with your state or county and obtain any necessary licenses and permits. Check with your local government to find out what specific permits and licenses are required for your industry. 
  5. Secure funding: Determine how much money you will need to start your business and explore funding options such as loans, grants, or investors. You may also need to invest your own money in the business. It’s very key to have an estimate of the capital requirement for your business to run the enterprise for at least six months to allow room for growth.
  6. Set up your business location: If your business requires a physical location, find a suitable space and set it up with the necessary equipment and supplies. The business should be located in an area where there is a vibrant market to attract customers. If online, proper marketing should be done to sensitize the existence of the business.
  7. Hire employees: If your business requires employees, hire people who have the skills and experience you need. Make sure you comply with all employment laws and regulations.
  8. Launch your business: Once you have completed all of the necessary steps, launch your business and start marketing your product or service. Continuously evaluate and adjust your strategy to ensure the success of your business.
