Planning is an essential ingredient for a successful business. The type of business which needs most careful thought is the one you start from scratch. But you don't need an original idea to have a good business. If you are worried about starting from scratch, you might want to think about buying a business that is already running.
Talking to people who have already started up their own business is very useful. You can learn a great deal from both successful businesses and those that have failed. Your Enterprise Agency or Chamber of Commerce may run business clubs where you can meet other small business owners.
Not having enough finance, which is one of the most common problems in small business, can be fatal. It is easy to underestimate the amount of money you will need to start up your business. The time that you spend working out your cash needs and monitoring cashflow is time well-spent.
You should have at least a basic understanding of trading laws, which protect consumers, employees, the general public and businesses as well.
Failure to respect these laws could even be a crime. For example, every employee whose employment continues for one month or more has the right to receive a written statement, which is a sort of contract with the terms and details of their employment. Your local tax office will send you documents that show you how much you need to take out of each employee's wages, and where to send the money.
