The above information will help you identify the things you should be considering as you begin your new business start-up.

This material does not provide all the answers. It does, however,  address many of the questions you must answer before committing yourself to starting a business, and it points you toward some resources where you can find the answers.

Not all of the enclosed information may pertain to the particular kind of business you hope to start. There are many additional questions (and answers) that do pertain to your business that will arise as you get into the planning process.

Whatever the questions and answers are that do apply to you, make sure that you are realistic and thorough in dealing with them. Now is the time to find out what you must do to get your business underway, and what you should do to give it the best possible chance to succeed.

In addition, remember: At any step along the way, you can turn to us to help you deal with the problems and opportunities you encounter.
