HOW TO START A BUSINESS
Got an idea? Let's turn it into a business.
You've got the idea. But what comes next?
LLC? EIN? Licenses? Bank account? Insurance? Sales tax?
Starting a business can quickly feel like a maze of forms, acronyms and conflicting advice.
This practical, interactive workshop will show you what to do — and in what order.
YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:
- Turn your idea into a clear business concept
- Choose the right business structure for you
- Understand LLCs, EINs and business registration
- Identify the licenses and permits you may need
- Understand the basics of home-based business compliance
- Separate your business and personal finances
- Avoid common and costly start-up mistakes
- Create a simple roadmap from IDEA → BUSINESS → FIRST CUSTOMER
HOW TO START A BUSINESS
No jargon. No 50-page business plan. Just practical guidance to help you get started.
Whether you have an idea scribbled in a notebook, have already started selling, or simply don't know where to begin, this workshop will help you understand the steps needed to build your business on the right foundations.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of what you need to do, what order to do it in, and what your next step should be.
