The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Really Start Your Own Business, Fourth Edition by David E. Gumpert
* How to Really Create a Successful Business Plan: Step-by-Step Guide by David E. Gumpert
* What No One Ever Tells You about Starting Your Own Business: Real-Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs (What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business) by Jan Norman
* Business Start-Up Kit by Steven D. Strauss
* Start Your Own Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) by Rieva Lesonsky
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

firstly conduct a market survey using your product or your business as reference, next competitors in the market, business logistics, mainly deisgnated HR even if its gonna be a small organization and deep pockets to support your business with no profit for atleast 6 months, all this put together is a matured business plan :-), later launch. ALL THE BEST

search for your local employment office and resources. there is a non-profit org that helps first time start ups. Visit your local county clerks office as well, there you can get more info as well. You will need to file for a name for your business, get a tax id number from the IRS, and set up a bank account.

Get a loan from your bank - as long as you have a good credit rating. Search around your neighbourhood and check the newspapers for business owners who plan on selling. Duh?? Wang??
