Owning Your Own Business : Western Washington Cities, Annual Editions

STEP I... a business plan...is not a total in-depth study...but serves to warn the readers to think in these dimensions as the information can overload at the beginning. You want the collection of data to result in a clear financial package. (Repeated as STEP V). STEP II is also not a legal course. It serves to direct the reader to think of your own personal situation...what do you need to accomplish with structure...do you trust a partner...& other questions because all professional consultants will take a lot of expensive time when you appear trying to determine your personal situation before they apply the expertise. STEP III suggests you do not think of price per square foot until you come to some general conclusions about the overall location process & your needs. This, again, will save you time when you consult professionals if needed. Think of the history of the location...what has happened there...any barricades, access problems, etc. Then think of the present location needs & take a view to the future. STEP IV is the guide to the CITY, STATE, COUNTY & FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS & RESOURCES. Again, it is not possible to put every conceivable license for all businesses into one book...but serves as a resource to know many business functions are regulated at many levels. A very important part of STEP IV is WHAT DOES ONE EMPLOYEE REALLY COST? No advice is given, merely the tools & resources of a business package. STEP V is a sample financial package.
