What steps do I need to take to properly open my small business?

Question

I want to open a small gift/jewelry shop. Without giving away the main money maker, I can say I have a customized item to sell that no one in my area has. It is a very popular and unique item. I know I have the right product to sell but now I'm not sure where to start.

Answer 1

You've started in the right direction by going to forums and seeking advice.  I would recommend building a network on some of the professional networking site like linkedin or schmoozii.com.  Do some business networking with professionals or businessmen with experience  in your business and they can help you through it.
