The law says that businesses must register with the following institutions, where applicable: What are the most common types of businesses? The most common types of businesses a woman can start are: A sole proprietorship is the simplest type of business.

The owner of the business is entitled to all the profit after tax and liable for all the losses debts and liabilities. A partnership is created when two or more persons agree to do business together, by combining money, skill and other resources, with the view of making profit. Too many people don't start their business because of the paralysis of analysis, they keep trying to prepare and learn and never get started.

I grabbed my notebook and started writing down the answers as I read your post, and I've actually got the basics in place. Thanks for giving me a great starting point. It was a great help.

One thing I'd add in - be conservative in your estimates for income and clients while over estimating the potential costs wherever possible. Things can always look great on paper, but it's much harder to make them work in real life. We get burned out after a few months or miss opportunities since we're always in fire fighting mode.

If the "group" is responsible for it and we'll get to it "when we have time" You need ONE person in charge of a task or else it's doomed.

This article wasn't meant to be a complete guide to writing a business plan, but I'm glad it has helped some of you to get started. Once we've got the fundamentals of our business down -- what our business does and who we're selling to -- then it makes all the other little decisions easier. If you guys are looking for inspiration, check out this article on 5 reasons why a recession is a good time to start a business. What about calculating the money needed to sustain the project until there's enough revenue to sustain itself? Thank you for creating this little list.

I hope everyone else will do the same. Most small businesses start without a business plan. By using your post they will get a much better start. Too many entrepreneurs get bogged down in the tiny details when creating a business plan. It naturally helps to look at the larger picture, and to drill down to the fundamentals of your concept before you get started to ensure that you don't lose focus while you're working on your plan.

The only question I think you overlooked although it ties in indirectly with a few of the questions you posed is: It's the simplest, and perhaps most fundamental question every entrepreneur must be able to answer and express clearly in their business plan. We also pontificated on your post at www.

Business planning is very much a verb. Let me echo that good business planning trumps a nice business plan any day However, what I like even more is the spirit that you need a sound business model, else your best-researched plan is for naught. Another way to map this is the business model based roughly on Slywotzsky: Can you do this cost-effectively? Gotta keep asking the hard questions - and tha usually requires a framework. I like the 3-part biz model above, but the 4-step list presented here is great too- thanks for sharing!

I've found it very plainspoken and easy to use. The included CD has forms and spreadsheets related to book content. I also recommend checking with your local Chamber of Commerce and Small Business Development organizations. We work hard to make sure and provide helpful information, articles, samples, suggestions and calculators for people starting or growing their business. I couldn't agree more. This is advice that our president, Tim Berry , preaches a lot.

Stop letting the "plan" keep you from planning. For the past month, on a volunteer basis, I have been organizing information on business formation that can be shared during Global Entrepreneurship Week. This is the effort by more than 60 nations, occurring the week before Thanksgiving, to encourage young people to select entrepreneurship as their career path in life and to tackle some of the hardest challenges of life.

You have distilled the essence of the business plan. I think it will be a wonderful resource for young entrepreneurs. My plan is to post a link on my free directory that points readers here. By reading your post they can learn that the business plan is more than a tool to raise money. It is the tool to determine how they will really get things done and if they are sold on committing themselves to the plan.

This is a good start to a business plan. I like the idea of using this to jump start the business idea. I would use this as a first pass to getting started. You will, however, want to go through a more detailed planning process. Both the planning process and the plan are important. Further,planning is important, execution is important and being flexible is important. You must have all three of these at work in your business to be successful. Thank you so much for creating this list!

I can't tell how useful a business model is like this for anyone considering starting a business.

There are many great resources for startup businesses from local government but many times they are worded "odd" and are hard to follow. These are great tips but I'd like to add one more to add to your readers Don't forget to revisit your business plan during these rough economical times. My wife and I have been running our own business for years. And we had a business plan but what we forgot to include, in writing, was how to profit if a recession occurs.
