Question

created my own logo and wanting to go public, so now what?

Answer 1

To start any new business you need a business plan. If you want to know how to organize and plan your business, here's what's included:
1. Executive Summary: objectives, mission, keys to success
2. Company Summary: company ownership, start-up summary, locations and facilities
3. Services: competitive advantage, sales literature
4. Market Analysis Summary: market segmentation, target market segment strategy, market needs, trends & growth
5. Strategy & Implementation Strategy: competitive edge, marketing strategy, positioning statement, pricing & promotion strategies, marketing programs, sales strategy and forcast, strategic alliances
6. Financial & Organizational Plan

Many startup companies come up with a new product idea believing that their friends and neighbors will spread the word and that mass merchants will eventually show up at their door ready to buy. Unfortunately, this is not how it works. In order to successfully launch a new clothing line, you must consider a number of important aspects of apparel manufacturing and production sourcing including:
* Research
* Sampling and estimating
* Prototyping and manufacturing
* Domestic clothing sourcing
* Import clothing sourcing
* Garment finishing
