Small Business Consulting Startup Service
You have an idea for a business, but you don't know anything about running a business, how to start the business, or put the plan into action. We will help you get everything done each step of the way and will make sure you don't miss anything essential or preferential.
- Brainstorm
The first step of setting up the business involves brainstorming ways to put your idea into action. It is not necessary to get into the exact details here, but you want to make sure that your plan will work. We will help you with the brainstorming process by throwing ideas at you, and you will have the opportunity to use the methods that you find best fit in with your plan. We will also help you determine how viable your plan is.
- Raise Money
The next step requires raising some money if you don't have enough to take the business on for the first month or two. You probably won't be able to get money from banks without a personal guarantee, so we will help you find other methods of obtaining a small amount of capital at least until you can get your business registered and a business plan drawn up. We have done this enough where we have a pretty good idea of how much you need to get things going in the first couple of months, so we will be able to determine how much you need to ask for.
- File all Business Paperwork
Depending on your business, you will have to choose an entity type. We have experience with all entity registrations from sole proprietorship where registration is usually not necessary to C Corporations where you need to file a large amount of paperwork and jump through a lot of hoops. With over ten different ways to classify yourself, we will help you determine which is best for your business, and will help you file all the necessary paperwork depending on the state that you wish to register your business in, which we will also help you decide.
- Come up with a Slogan and Logo
With so many companies around today, you want people to be able to recognize your firm. We will help you create a recognizable slogan and logo to give your business that extra bit of brand awareness.
- Create a Website
With the internet so popular, almost all businesses must have a website. We will help you find a website designer for a good price. We have worked with many web designers who have all provided great products for a very reasonable price. Depending on what you need, we may be able to get one of them who we already know to be great designers so you don't have to spend your time looking, and waste your money paying for sites that are sub-par.
Once everything is set up, and you are ready to get to the next step, we will automatically move you into our clients under our small business consulting team. You will have the opportunity to work with a new, yet equally capable group of experts in the consulting industry. Your goal should be to get through this part with some money left, and an even more vigorous drive to succeed.
