Question

i want to start a business in the next few years how do i start planning for it

Answer 1

Depends How Big. It's always a good idea to set up a website and email for it. Ask some friends and relitives to work. Start with people you know, then as you get bigger, you should establlish a building, and have random people work. Good Luck. Great Idea. **STAR**

Contact your local Chamber of Commerce to see if they have a person that could lead you through the process. That person could give you things to consider before you start the business.

Answer 4

Insuring yourself and your business is an area that's often overlooked. The instances of businesses being sued is increasing all the time, and the legal costs of fighting (or even losing) a case can be crippling, or even terminal, for a small business.  

If your business will be based in the UK and you intend to employ people you will be required by law to insure your liabilities to your employees for injury sustained while working for you.You'll need an  Employers' Liability Insurance policy and you can find out more about this here http://www.coverzones.com/learn-more/you...

If members of the public, clients or customers will be visiting your business premises (even if this is your home) you will probably need some Public Liability Insurance - more details can be found with this link http://www.coverzones.com/policies/publi...

If your new business will be providing a service, a Professional Indemnity insurance policy will cover you if you make a mistake leading to a dispute with one of your clients.  You can find out more about this at http://www.coverzones.com/policies/profe...

It entirely depends on the type of business you intend to start, but getting a basic level of cover in place could cost from as little as £50 to a few thousand, so its worth looking into as part of your business planning.
