The pandemic caused a lot of heartache and job loss. However, out of that job loss, people started a lot of independent businesses in California that are now thriving. If you’re someone who has considered starting a business in the state, why not take influence from people who have already determined what works best? Here are the top tips you should consider if you’re beginning a new business this year.<\/p>\n

Set A Plan & Establish Goals<\/h2>\n

It’s really important to have a target to aim for when you’re first starting a business. Without a financial goal in mind, you might not know where to begin. Start by creating a 1-year plan with realistic goals. Consider how much revenue you’ll need to do to try to meet those goals. Then, move onto a 2-year plan and a 5-year plan. The more goals you can establish and plan for, the easier it will be to try to achieve them.<\/p>\n

Know Your Competitors<\/h2>\n

If you’re starting a business in a niche that is heavily saturated, you’re bound to run into issues and it will be difficult to acquire new customers. Spend time getting to know your customers to really understand what they sell and how they sell it. If you can take cues from them to build into your own products and services, it can help you skip a few steps and get ahead faster. If you need to hire a third party consultant to help you with research, you’ll quickly see it is worth it.<\/p>\n

Create An Online Presence<\/h2>\n

Everyone is online nowadays and you need to be as well. Start by creating a website that fits within your business’s budget. Once you have a strong brand behind your business with a professionally designed logo, move onto creating social media profiles to expand your reach. Create a Facebook page, a Yelp page, an Instagram if you have photo-centric products such as custom watercolor paintings<\/a>, or anything else you feel would connect with your customers. If you need to invest in advertising to get your business off the ground, monitor the results closely and make sure it’s helping you scale.<\/p>\n

Establish Your Business Entity<\/h2>\n

It’s vital to establish your business as the right entity too. This entails setting up a business as a sole proprietorship (if it’s only you running the business), an LLC, an S-Corp, a C-Corp or something else. Not only will the right entity make your business official, it will also help you understand the tax class you belong to. Consider hiring a business attorney like those at Scheid Cleveland, LLC<\/a> to help you understand the right entity for your business.<\/p>\n

While there may be a variety of things you’ll learn when starting a business, it’s important to remember the basics. Set a well-developed plan, research your competitors, create an online presence and take care of the legal aspect of your business. These steps will get you headed in the right direction and prime your business for success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
