One of the most important things you need to remember is that you don’t need to be an expert, but please find someone who is and have them counsel you thought the business setup process. This class helps you understand the steps to starting a business, from market research, writing a business plan, finding the funds, and picking the name’s business structure. Starting a business is one part but running it successfully is another.
