How do i start up a company designed for athletic wear? steps? permits? licenses? advertising? thanks!?

Question

my brother has an awesome idea for a name and I want to start up a company that's designed for athletic wear, but I wouldn't know where to start. If someone can provide me with the information or tell me where to look it up I'd be very appreciative.

Hello,

For starters you can head on down to your local cities business office and file for a business lic. After that you can also join your local Chamber (they will have all your advice). You will also need to get a sellers permitt (if you would like to buy wholesale).

As to advertise take your company name and get a website, find a host that will offer you a shopping cart so you can sale online, you can try some of these hosting places...

http://www.tahoewebservice.com (I use these guys and they offer me a cart that holds 2500 items, excepts credit cards and is tied into shipping rates) I pay $20.00 a month for all that.

Best of luck with your new business... Hope it works well for you
