What questions should I ask before starting a new business?

When you start your new business, the first thing you should always ask is what the purpose of your business is. Are you going to provide a service for people, or are you going to provide a product? The next question you should as is what your ideal kind of customer is. This will help you narrow down your industry and your market. If you are a first time business owner, it may take a little bit of time to really grasp what it means to discern who your ideal client and customer is.

Next, you can decide if you are going to be a brick and mortar store or if you are going to be online based. Another important thing to decide is how you are going to market yourself to your target audience.

From there, you can ask some more specific questions, such as, how are you going to raise capital? Are you going to be an LLC, in which every employee has a day to day activity, or a corporation, in which you have investors? Deciding which entity formation will play a large role in the growth of your business from that point on.
