The first step to starting your own business is to search for a business idea. Anything can be such an idea, since practically everything can be useful and profitable with proper promotion. The choice of a business idea depends primarily on your desires and skills, as well as on your capabilities (for example, obviously not everyone can set up a refinery). For example, if you worked in the field of advertising and you liked it, then you can create your own advertising agency.

After you have finally decided on a business idea, you should pause and ask yourself a question - can I really develop this idea for a long time, work hard on it, will it stop being interesting to me? Only after you firmly decide that your idea is just what you would like to do, you can start writing a business plan. Otherwise, if you lose interest in her, it will be too hard for you to work on her.

A business plan is a program of actions of a company or entrepreneur, a description of its (his) activity, which contains information about which goods or services and how they will be produced, what is the situation on the market for these goods or services, what investments will be required. Do not underestimate the importance of a business plan: it is necessary not only for your potential investors, but also for you, because for its preparation you will need to analyze the market, find out about your potential competitors, set goals. In addition, the business plan also touches on issues such as the need for hiring personnel, equipment for the business, which also need to be considered.

After drawing up a business plan, it is time to act, i.e. take practical steps to find clients and advertise a business, register a company, rent a room and hire staff (if necessary). It should be remembered that the only source of income for any business is its customers, so the entrepreneur's primary task is to find them. It’s good if your first acquaintances will be your acquaintances, clients of the company in which you previously worked for hire, its contractors. But do not forget about attracting new ones. To do this, you need to think about the advertising campaign of your business, attending professional conferences, making new acquaintances among potential customers.

Any business needs state registration. Depending on the type and size of the business, you can register as an individual entrepreneur or create a legal entity (usually LLC). The state registration procedure can be completed both independently and with the help of a specialized law firm. The price of such a company’s services is usually not very high: from 7, 000 to 15, 000 rubles.
