The first step in starting a small business is to identify your idea and the market need it fulfills. Then develop a business plan that outlines the strategy you will use to launch and grow your business. After that, research the regulations and legal requirements for setting up your business in your area. Once you've done this, you can begin securing the resources you need, such as funding and permits, to make your business a reality.
