Answer 1

Hi, do a search for "Small Business Administration" and they have free on line training sessions.  From how to start the business and make a business plan, etc.

It will also print certificates for you at the completion of each one you select that applies to you.

It has been a great tool for me starting my own company.

In addition, you can apply on line for a business tax ID number, if needed. It gives it to you right away and you print out the official letter or they can mail it.

Answer 2

seek on the net; free biz plan templates

the US small biz admin has free ones.

I am available to help further

i can send u one if you don't find one u like

Answer 3

you don't need any degree to do it successfully.  However, a degree in business management will teach you the tools to do it.

There are small business plan guides that you can usually get from your local .gov sites.  Creating a business plan is where you start.  Filling it it will be what points you in the right directions for the things that follow.

Answer 4

You don't need a degree. You need money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. If you borrow it from someone that is not a member of your family, you will regret it and it hurts your chance at success. You don't need a written plan unless you plan to borrow from a bank or venture capital. The Small Business Administration gives out loans, but it still hurts your chances at success. Figure out how much this operation will cost you to start up and then double that amount. Thats how much you need to save before starting. Chance for success is greater when you have extra money to cover your errors. Good Luck Im here for support and can give you some experiences from previous businesses owned.
