· Defining your market and studying the competition
· Specifying your product or service
· Pricing and marketing your product or service
· Calculating risk and breakeven
· Budgeting and keeping records
· Using other services and professionals
· Understanding the basics of commercial law
· Structuring your business for tax efficiency
· Employing staff
· Acquiring or renting property
· Dealing with expansion
