Start by researching your desired business sector to gain an understanding of the costs involved. You may want to consult an accountant or business advisor to determine the most cost-effective way to get started. Additionally, consider looking into grants and tax incentives available to small businesses. You may be able to get discounts on materials or services when in the startup phase. Finally, utilize any existing resources such as existing contacts, available with friends and family, to help get your business off the ground with a minimal budget.
