How do I start my own business in my town?

Question

What are the steps I need to take?

Answer 1

Before you start any business you should do a census maybe put an ad in your local news paper. Tell what kind of store your going to have and ask questions like where should my store be conviently located for everyone, what kind of hours would you like ym store to be, and is this a store people in my town would like to see. All of thoes things are ultimatly your decison but it's worth it to invest a little bit of money to find things out that may help your buisness a lot in the long run. Maybe even if you put a servay in the paper make it if people turn the servay in they could win a 25 or 50 dollar gas card. You'll get more responses.
