    Validating the idea as to why I want to startup the business, then I would shore-up my plan and budget for it, and I'll consider building the right team to support me on this. Later I would establish a support system -by letting my loved ones, family, and friends know about it, so that they would have my back and then I'd refine my model. Then I'll start. I believe they're a few other factors that would be required of me to consider. Are there any suggestion(s) to add on?

    Make a decision on whether you are ready to start your business or not. If ready ,conduct a market research into your business idea. Choose appropriately the type of business you want to launch and the structure that you want your business to have.

    Then write a business plan for your business. Also create a marketing plan for your new business.

    This has been of help, so happy that you shared your insights and opinion about this. I've considered a market research on Twitter already. It's the digital platform way I went for, since the kind of business I want to launch is of Networking within the city. Twitter provided me with real time search for specific conversations without any hassles (by just combining keywords with the hashtags support). I got the public feedback about my services I'm promising to provide and I replied to all. It really enabled me to refine a scheme I wasn't sure of and now I'm sure I'm ready to kick-start! It was a much focused discussion than I could have gotten I I'd preferred Facebook over it.

    The key consideration to successfully lunch a business include:
    1. Choosing the right structure for your business. I.e knowing whether starting as a sole trader or in partnership or as a limited company could help depending on your capital and even the profits you desire.
    2. Creating a business plan. A business plan will add direction to your vision and help you consider the practicalities.
    3. Buying the right insurance cover.
    4. Financing the business. How will you fund the new business? Most businesses require some capital outlay to get them up and running. Premises, office equipment, computers and software will all cost you, so it’s important you consider the best way to pay for these essential expenses. Do you have savings you can use or money you can borrow from a family member? If not, will the banks help? There is an ever-increasing range of alternative funding types available to business owners, so you will really benefit from understanding your options.
    5. Cash is king. The initial set up of the business will not be your only expense. You will also need a regular flow of cash into the business to pay bills and other expenses as they arise. Maintaining a healthy level of cash-flow can be problematic for small businesses, particular in the first year when income levels are inconsistent and sometimes non-existent. Thinking carefully about where cash is going to come from and the processes you will put in place to regulate cash-flow, such as credit control and forecasting, is essential.

    If you are thinking of starting your own business, then you should seek advice on making a business plan. A good place to start is with your banker, or anyone who is knowledgeable in this area. A good business plan will take into account all of the aspects of marketing, demand for your product or service and the exact steps you will need to take in order to become successful.

    Of course, don't leave out the most important part which is the work you are going to have to put into your venture. Being in business for yourself is definitely not a 9 to 5 endeavor.

    To have a well set business, the potential business man or woman should take note of the following things;
    1. Have a proper knowledge about the proposed business.
    2. Make reasonable research about the business.
    3. Be ready for mental and physical stress. Manage them properly.
    4. Never spend your expected return. It is corrosive to business growth.
    5. Always ensure proper accountability or record concerning your products. It is highly essential.

    Very well said, my friend. There's a lot things to consider in planning a business. Because business is not easy. We need to be well learned and to know how to run business properly so that we won't get failed.

    So for me, I do believe that knowledge is the key to a successful business.
