Answer 1

Well, are you in the USA or Canada, Europe, UK or Australia? The process is different in each.

Your best bet, if you live in the USA is to contact your local branch of the SBA (small business administration) or SCORE, who should be listed in your phone book. These are business people who mentor and advise people just starting out--for free. You can ask them anything. They also help to get you info on doing the licensing process, show how to do a business plan, etc.

You can already do plenty of good searches over on google.com with key words about starting your specific business. Just start putting in the pertinent info in the field and begin your search. I've also found excellent material by searching for 'marketing articles'.

Before starting a business you need to have clear your company´s mission, vision and values even if it is online, you need to know excactly your target market and have information about them, Why would they buy your product? and what do you offer that no one else does? You need to know all that information in order to make your website; a website needs to be easy to eyes, simple and your visitors should find what they want in less than a minute otherwise they´ll leave. It is essential that you get a professional webmaster to design your website. You need to invest money and time on your project but before that you need to be sure your idea is profitable, make some numbers first. wish you luck on your new business.
