Advice please on the proper route in a small business start up..much appreciated.?


Have decided to do imports as it only requires warehousing. I also know that I need to register it. Have the funding but what should I do first. Do I open a business account first? Could I register the business at my home? Or do I find the warehouse first and register that as the business address? In order please....

I know the product I want to import and have also sourced it at a very good deal including shipment.

Take proper advice, IE bank, local business start up centers.
you can't afford to gamble on anonymous advice

first u require an import license. then after that u must decide what r the things u want to import.

Get yourself incorporated first. You can do this yourself and save yourself about $1,000. Google Business Corporations and the state you live in...find your state's government site to find out where to register your business. Find a name so your web site name tells people exactly what you sell. If you INC. yourself, then if someone sues you, they can't touch your home, even if you work out of your own home. Then you'll need some insurance, bond insurance, I believe. Once these things are in order, find a warehouse, find a web site name (godaddy.com has a cheap hosting site)

You can also check out SCORE, they're retired consultants to the business industry start ups. You can ask them questions, but make sure you thank them for taking the time to answer you. They're volunteers.

Get yourself a business plan and start moving ahead, with a business checking acct. etc. Letterhead, flyers, ... Quickbooks is a good accounting program if you're looking for something fairly easy to learn, or MYOB if you're on a MAC.

I'd also suggest getting a PO Box, in case you upset some customer and they're crazy enough to come to your house...A PO Box won't reveal your home address.

Wish you the best! It'll be a lot of work, but rewarding when the profits comes in.

I have been selling electronics on ebay for 3 months now. Right after i went to www.makemoneyfromelectronics.c... There they showed me where to get electronics for such a low price that I profited just a bit over
$ 10,000 my first month. There is also good products to buy in bulk there that you can sell. They also added me to their msn messenger and keep me updated on new leads and new info on how to improve my business. They are very helpful. Iam very happy and I recommend them.http://makemoneyfromelectronics.com/...
