Starting a Business

We go to school, get a job and live our lives.  For many of us something happens along the way that motivates us to be our own boss…we start a business.  There is a big gulf between having an idea and making that idea a reality.  You’ll need customers, inventory or expertise to sell, an office and/or a manufacturing/assembly space.  You’ll need accounting software and marketing material…and a bunch of our stuff unique to your business.  However, as important as all this may be, there are two other things that are more critical to your success: a plan and cash.  A well drafted business plan is a roadmap, projecting what the company hopes to achieve and how it plans on meeting those objectives.  Your plan will include the cost of professionals that will be with you from start to finish.  We can help you develop a plan and identify what your cash needs are and will be based on your projected sales and expense requirements.
