Small Business Start-up Guidelines: Critical Steps
Written by: Nihad Farouk, entrepreneurship expert
Search for a project idea
Examine your hobbies and discover the possibilities of turning them into a small business. Conduct extensive market research to identify opportunities and gaps that can be filled with your project.
Preparing the business plan
Write a detailed business plan that explains the steps for organizing and operating the project. Collect information about customers and competing companies to find a competitive advantage.
Project financing
Choose a project location carefully, as this decision can affect taxes, local laws, and business revenues.
Choose a project name
Choose a name that reflects your brand and personality, checking that the name is available and has not been used previously.
Project registration
Go through the registration process to make the project legal, protecting your brand in the future.
Focus on customer service
Place your focus on providing excellent customer service, as customer satisfaction is the core of the project's success.
Build a good reputation
Develop a good reputation for the business, as consumers rely on reviews and recommendations in their decisions.
Internet Marketing
Create a website and social media pages to promote the project online, as many people shop online before purchasing from brick-and-mortar stores.
Note: It is preferable to repeat the service or compensate customers for a negative experience to ensure their satisfaction
