ForumsStarting a Business

The business plan is a good start and I hate to pour ice water on the topic (and that's one of the services our company supplies) so I d believe and understand the need for a good working business plan but there are other things to consider:

1. Do you have enough cash (in savings - not retirement) to pay ALL your personal expenses for the first 12-18 months after opening your business.

2. Do you want to consider looking into franchise opportunities - They can be very expensive and require a great deal of foundational time and a business plan is a must and that's not even the beginning but with franchises you stand a better chance of success.

3. Do you have friends/others (with money that they could possibly lose) that believe in you dream, view, and abilities.

4. In retail location in a biggie, can you find a location that has sufficient foot traffic i.e. big super market chains, established business areas, is their a large breakfast/lunch customer potential because those will be your two best times of day.

5. Can you pick the brain of your friend that has the same type of business? I would keep him/her talking anywhere from 3-6months about their experiences both good and bad.

6. Then after you've picked their brain - consider enlisting them in your venture. It may or may not be a good idea.

7. Then after you've done that contact me for the next step!!!

To ride on the Starbucks dialogue, if you're now thinking that coffee may not be the wisest choice now have you ever thought about a tea stand?

Hi,

Starting your own coffee business will be a good idea as you have been working for years making specialty drinks fro friends and neighbors.
