Do you need a Process for Starting Your Business?

starting up a business checklist

The Starting A Successful Business Checklist provides the "Guide" that will help you successfully start your Business - - Quickly!   Easily!   Cost Effectively!

Introduction: Starting a business is an exciting endeavor and is typically accompanied by very high expectations. However, it is usually undertaken with a lot of anxiety and trepidation as well. According to some sources, approximately 4 out of 5 businesses fail within the first three years of operation, and then an additional 4 out of 5 of the remaining businesses fail during the next few years of operation. How does an entrepreneur triumph over these seemingly overwhelming odds and avoid being included in these gruesome statistics?

If you are serious about turning your business idea into a reality, writing a business plan, and launching a new business, this is the Checklist for you!

Keys to Success: There are, I believe, several keys to success. The first is the desire, belief, and expectancy that you can make your business successful. This generally requires an intense commitment and many hours of hard work which often involves forfeiting the pleasures of family events, hobbies, sports, TV, etc. Hopefully this sacrifice will be short lived as your business becomes more successful. The second key to success is to become educated regarding the process of starting a business. This includes understanding your marketplace, financial management techniques, and operational strategies as well as a myriad of laws, tax consequences, and business structures.

Important Note: Without exception, every one of the clients I counseled who had a business that was not succeeding or was experiencing some level of financial, or marketing difficulty had either not developed a detailed business plan or had never constructed a Cash Flow Statement that was founded on good market research and a conservative sales forecast. Doing a thorough job on these two critical components could have prevented many of the very costly operational or business start-up mistakes that typically occur. Importantly, problems should be identified and corrected during the business planning stage, not after you have opened the doors for business. This Start A Business Checklist will help you minimize mistakes and prepare you for a successful launch of your business.

How to Use: To make it easy for you to use, this checklist has two major sections. The first section is an Assessment of Your Readiness to Start a Business. Am I prepared to be a business owner is the most important question that must be asked? Although you've probably already made the decision to start a business, this section covers a range of over 300 factors you may not have considered but which will be very important for your success. Each module has a table for prioritizing tasks and assigning responsibilities and due dates for completing each task. This section of the checklist is your personal management tool for tracking progress as well as for identifying the need for additional resources. It will serve you well and keep you moving forward.

The Second Section is The Business Plan and Implementation Process. Included here is a process for "How To Write A Business Plan". This Guide will help you create several variations of a business plan with each variation used for a specific purpose and for a specific audience. This section features a One Page Executive Summary Format, a Simplified Model for a Business Plan, guidance for Creating a Comprehensive Business Plan, instructions for How to Use the Business Planning Guide, a discussion of The Business Planning Process, helpful Tips for Writing the Business Plan, a sample Business Plan Outline, a Business Plan Outline Description, summary charts of the various business entity types, two sample Cash Flow Statements that are downloadable as a template for use in your business plan, 22 Market Research Sources, and 27 possible Funding Options. See the Checklist Outline below that itemizes the extensive set of tools and resources included in this valuable Checklist.

Warning! Before you invest all your savings, tap your retirement account, forego the allocation of money into a college fund for your children, take money from your home equity line of credit, sell your investment portfolio, give up a vacation home, or quit your job, please carefully and honestly consider all of the topics of discussion in this checklist. Most individuals who have started a business have never completed a self-assessment process as comprehensive as this one, which is probably one of the key reasons for the high failure rate of new businesses. You owe it to yourself to complete this assessment process. Make an investment in yourself by purchasing this document, and then, more importantly, conduct the assessment and create your business plan for launching your business! You will be glad you did!
