10. Find a business location

Your business plan will help guide what kind of space you need for your business. If you’re selling print-on-demand t-shirts, you may only need to find space in your home for a small workspace, a desk, and a laptop. On the other hand, if your business requires in-person retail space, you’ll need to find a place to rent.

To help narrow down what you need from your business location, consider these questions:

• How much space will you need for inventory? If you’re accepting deliveries of thousands of items at once, you may not be able to accommodate it in your living room.

• Do you plan on offering in-person retail sales? Selling out of your home is certainly an option for your first orders, but if in-person is an important channel you’ll want to find space that’s comfortable and easily accessible for customers to visit.

• Will you be packing and shipping orders from your location? Depending on the scale of your shipping operations, that may necessitate more space than you have available in a home office.
It’s possible to run your business from a space you already have available, especially if you don’t plan to sell in-person. If that’s the case, here are some home-office design ideas to help you create an effective workspace while you get your business off the ground: https://freestudio.me/blog-1

9. Select your software systems

When learning how to start your own business, it’s important to understand the value of good software. One of the best ways to reduce the heavy lifting involved in running a business, and to set yourself up for future success, is choosing software that can help you automate or streamline the things you need to do.
Often, when you choose the right software systems, you will be able to set them up once and have them run efficiently with little ongoing work. Consider looking into software to help you manage the following:

• Accounting: With multiple options to help you track everything from a meal with your business partner to a big inventory order, accounting software is one of the best ways to start your business off on the right financial foot.

• Email marketing: A good email marketing tool will help you stay in touch with your current (and future) customers and make sure you are able to send the right messages to the right people at the right time.

• Ads: Paying for ads is often a cost of doing business, especially online, but there’s marketing software that can help streamline the process and make the most of your advertising budget—no matter how much you have to spend.

• Project management: Even if you are a sole proprietor, having one place to plan your work and keep track of important tasks can help you stay on schedule. Tools like Trello and Asana can help.

• Website or online store: Choose a platform that allows you to easily manage all the critical tasks involved in running your business. Look for a theme that supports your product lines, and gives you the ability to take and manage orders easily.

8. Research licenses and government regulations
Once you understand how to start up a business, look into what licenses and government regulations you need to operate legally. No one wants to end up in legal trouble. Your business is subject to the laws governing businesses in your area, as well as laws and regulations specific to your industry. For instance, a food service business needs to follow specific licensing and regulations for handling what it sells, but it also has to pay attention to the legalities of its marketing efforts and to trademark and copyright laws.
With so much to know, and a lot of it specific to your location and industry, it’s worth consulting with a lawyer to get advice before you launch your business. Obtaining legal advice can save you from considerable headaches down the road. If you are based in Lebanon we recommend Rock Hobeika

7. Picking the type of business structure

Your business structure influences key parts of your business, from taxes to operations to your personal liability. Choosing the right structure is about balancing the legal and financial protections you need with the flexibility offered by different options. It’s an important decision and it’s one you should consider carefully before you launch your business.
Business structures vary based on your country and area, but two common types—that may go by different names in your country—are sole proprietorship and incorporation. A sole proprietorship is great if you’re the only person involved in the business and is usually the lowest-effort structure to pursue, but it leaves you personally liable for the business and its activities. You can hire employees as a sole proprietor but you'll need an employer identification number to do so, which means registering your business.
On the other hand, if you opt for a more formal structure, like a corporation, it’s easier to involve multiple owners and you’re not personally liable for the business. At the same time, there’s more paperwork and steps involved in starting and maintaining a corporation.

When it comes to understanding how to make business structures, there are a few factors you’ll need to consider:

• Where is your business located? Your country’s laws will outline the different business structures you can form and whether or not you need a business license to get started.

• What kind of business are you running? Some structures are more suited to businesses of a certain scale or within a certain industry. There might come a time when you need to restructure your business in order to work with new partners. It’s not uncommon for large businesses to ask that their suppliers or partners be incorporated, for example.

• How many people are involved? If you’re going it alone as a solo founder, you may be able to look at streamlined options. If you have a business partner or multiple people with ownership in the company, you’ll need to look at more advanced options to ensure everything is set up and shared properly.
An accountant or lawyer can be helpful in evaluating the different options available in your area and with the process of setting up your business

6. Develop your product or service

You have completed the groundwork, and you understand the financials behind how to start a business. Now it’s time to think deeply into the product or service you would like to offer.

For a product-driven business, developing your product could mean taking one of three general approaches:

• Creating your own product. Whether you’re making items by hand or sourcing an original product from a manufacturer, developing your own product to sell can help you stand out in the market.

• Customizing an existing product. With print-on-demand options, you can add your unique designs and ideas to products including t-shirts, leggings, towels, backpacks, and more.

• Adopting a selection of products. Dropshipping is a way to stock your store without creating a new product, letting you start selling almost immediately without managing inventory.

As you develop your product, keep your total costs in mind when figuring out your pricing. While your product price is not solely driven by costs—and there are many factors that influence pricing strategy—it’s important to price your product profitably.

5. Understand business finances

The shared goal of any business is to make money, which means cash flow management is an integral part of learning how to start a business. You will need to understand some basics to get started and scale that knowledge as you grow.

There are plenty of businesses you can start with only a small startup cost, but others will require money for inventory, equipment, or physical space. A clear view of your total investment—before you spend a cent—is a must for helping to make important projections, like when you will break even.
A clear view of your total startup costs is a must before you spend a cent.

If those calculations show you will need more funding than you can afford to spend out of pocket, you can look at options like a small business loan or a crowdfunding campaign.

Bookkeeping needs to be one of your primary financial tasks as soon as you are ready to start making purchases for your business. Accurate records of your income and expenses will help you keep an eye on cash flow and prepare for a smooth transition to working with an accountant or bookkeeper later on.

To make the process even easier, consider opening a business bank account and obtaining a business credit card. Keeping your personal and professional finances separate makes doing your business taxes much simpler and can help you automate some of the financial steps to starting a business as well.

٤- اكتب خطة عملك
تساعد كتابة خطة العمل في التحقق من صحة فكرتك وإضفاء الطابع الرسمي عليها ويمكن أن تبسط عملية إنشاء الأعمال من خلال جعلك تجلس وتفكر في الأمور بطريقة منهجية.

هناك قول شائع ينطبق بشكل خاص على عملية خطة العمل هو "الخطط لا قيمة لها، لكن التخطيط هو كل شيء". يقول العديد من رواد الأعمال إنهم نادرًا ما ينظرون إلى خطتهم بعد إطلاقها - لكنهم سيخبرونك أيضًا أن هناك قيمة في التفكير والبحث في فكرتك أثناء إنشاء خطة.

إذا كنت تريد معرفة كيفية بدء شركة، فمن الأهمية بمكان أن تتعلم كتابة خطة عمل.

إذا لم تكن قد فعلت ذلك من قبل ، فإليك دليل شامل لكتابة خطة عمل:
https://freestudio.me/blog/f/what-to-include-in-each-section-of-your-business-plan
عند إنشاء خطتك، تأكد من إيلاء اهتمام إضافي لأقسام التحليل التنافسي والتحليل الرباعي. على الرغم من أنه لا يوجد شيء يمكن أن يحل محل التحقق من صحة فكرتك من خلال التأكد على أن الناس سيدفعون لشراء المنتج، فإن البحث الذي ينطوي عليه إكمال هذه الأقسام يمكن أن يكون دليلاً آخر على أنك على المسار الصحيح.

4. Write your business plan
Writing a business plan helps validate and formalize your idea and can streamline the business-creation process by getting you to sit down and think things through methodically.

A classic quotation that is especially applicable to the business plan process is, “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.” Many entrepreneurs say they rarely look at their plan once they’ve launched—but they will also tell you there’s value in thinking through and researching your idea while creating a plan.
If you want to learn how to start a company, it’s critical you learn to write a business plan.

If you’ve never done it before, here is a comprehensive guide to writing a business plan.
https://freestudio.me/blog/f/what-to-include-in-each-section-of-your-business-plan
When creating your plan, make sure to pay extra attention to the competitive analysis and SWOT analysis sections. While nothing can replace validating your idea by confirming that people will pay for it, the research involved in completing these sections can be further proof you are on the right track.

٣- البحث عن اسم الشركة
اعمل على العثور على اسم لنشاطك التجاري يوضح ما تفعله، وهو اسم قصير ولا يُنسى، ولم يتم استخدامه بالفعل في مجال عملك. هذه ليست مهمة سهلة، ولكنها مهمة يمكن تحقيقها بقليل من الجهد والخيال.

يمكن أن تساعدك أدوات إنشاء الأسماء في الخروج بقائمة من الأفكار الفريدة، وهناك أيضًا الكثير من أفضل ممارسات التسمية التي تم اختبارها على مدار الزمن والتي يمكنك الاعتماد عليها للمساعدة.

في العادة للاسم القوي بعض الخصائص، مثل:

• قصير وبسيط. يجب أن يتمكن العملاء من تذكر اسمك بسرعة، وأفضل طريقة للقيام بذلك هي تجنب الاسم الطويل جدًا. تعتبر كلمة واحدة أو كلمتين مثالية، على الرغم من أن ثلاث إلى أربع كلمات قصيرة يمكن أن تعمل أيضًا إذا تم إنشاء عبارة لا تنسى.

• مُختَلِف. إذا أظهر بحث السوق الخاص بك أن كل شخص في مجال عملك يبدو أن لديه أسماء متشابهة أو يعتمد على كلمات مماثلة، فقد يكون من المفيد تجنبها من أجل التوصل إلى اسم مميز حقًا.

• غير مستخدم. بالإضافة إلى تجنب الأسماء المتشابهة، ستحتاج إلى التأكد من أن اسم نشاطك التجاري ليس قيد الاستخدام من قبل أي منافس. للقيام بذلك، قم بإجراء بحث مجاني عن العلامات التجارية في البلدان التي ستعمل فيها، وتأكد من مراجعة غوغل ومواقع الشبكات الاجتماعية أيضًا. (الأمر نفسه ينطبق على أسماء النطاق (دومين نايم)، لذا قم بإجراء بحث عن الإسم قبل تسجيل أي شيء.) حتى إذا لم يسجل شخص ما علامة تجارية، في العديد من الأحوال بئمكان أحدهم الطعن قانونًا في استخدامك لاسم كان يستخدمه للقيام بأعمال تجارية في نفس المجال.
إذا لم تكن متأكدًا، فمن الأفضل استشارة مستشار قانوني مستقل للحصول على المشورة الخاصة بموقفك. إذا كنت مقيمًا في لبنان، فنحن نوصي بالأستاذ Rock Hobeika

3. Find a business name
Work on finding a name for your business that makes it clear what you do, that’s short and memorable, and that isn’t already in use in your industry. This is not an easy task, but it’s one that is achievable with a bit of effort and imagination.

Name generators can help you come up with a list of unique ideas, and there are also plenty of time-tested naming best practices to lean on for direction.

A strong name will usually have a few characteristics:

• Short and simple. You want customers to be able to quickly remember your name, and the best way to do that is to avoid a name that’s too long. One or two words is ideal, although three to four short words can also work if they create a memorable phrase.

• Different. If your market research shows that everyone in your industry seems to have similar names or relies on similar elements, it can be helpful to avoid them in order to come up with a name that really stands out.

• Original. Beyond just avoiding similar names, you’ll need to make sure your business name isn’t in use by a competitor already. To do that, run a free trademark search in the countries you’ll be doing business in, and make sure to check Google and social media sites, too. (The same goes for URLs, so undertake a domain-name search before you register anything.) Even if someone hasn’t registered a trademark, in many jurisdictions they can legally challenge your use of a name they have been using to do business in the same industry. If you’re unsure, it’s better to consult independent legal counsel for advice specific to your situation. If you are based in Lebanon, we honestly recommend Rock Hobeika

٢- إجراء أبحاث السوق

قد يبدو التحقق من صحة نشاطك التجاري أمرًا صعبًا، ولكن الأمر يتعلق فقط باختبار ما إذا كان العملاء على استعداد للدفع مقابل منتجك قبل أن تضيع الكثير من الوقت والمال فيه. من المهم التحقق من صحة فكرتك بغض النظر عن نوع العمل الذي تبدأه.

هناك الكثير من الطرق للتحقق من صحة فكرة عملك، من البسيط إلى المعقد. فيما يلي بعض الأمثلة التكتيكية التي يمكن أن تساعدك في معرفة كيفية حساب طلب السوق قبل الخوض في العمق.

• إنشاء متجر لأخذ الطلبات المسبقة
• إطلاق حملة تمويل جماعي
• إنشاء نسخة تجريبية لمنتجك أو خدمتك لبيعها

هناك طرق أخرى للتحقق من صحة فكرة المنتج الذي تنوي بيعه، ولكن عند الشك، ابدأ البيع بأسرع ما يمكن. التعلم من ملاحظات العملاء المباشرة وفهم كيفية استخدام منتجاتك أمر لا يقدر بثمن عند تعلم كيفية بدء عمل تجاري من البداية وتنميته.

2. Conduct market research

Validating your business might sound difficult, but it’s really just a matter of testing whether customers are willing to pay for your product before you sink too much time and money into it. It's important to validate your idea no matter what type of business you’re starting.

There are plenty of ways to validate your business, from the simple to the complex. Here are some tactical examples that can help you figure out how to calculate market demand before getting in too deep.

• Set up a store to take preorders
• Launch a crowdfunding campaign
• Create a beta of your product or service to sell

There are other ways to validate your product ideas but when in doubt, start selling as quickly as possible. Learning from direct customer feedback and understanding how your products are being used is invaluable when learning how to start a business from scratch and growing it.

١- تحديد فكرة العمل

العثور على فكرة عمل هو شيء يمكنك التعامل معه بشكل منهجي من خلال الاعتماد على الأساليب التي تم اختبارها على مدار الزمن والتي نجحت مع رواد الأعمال الآخرين. بغض النظر عما إذا كنت تتطلع إلى بدء عمل جانبي تجاري منخفض الاستثمار أو كنت تفضل المشاركة في فكرتك، فإن أفضل طريقة للعثور على منتج لبيعه تتضمن استراتيجيات مثل:
•التنقيب عن اهتماماتك الشخصية. ماذا تفعل في وقت فراغك؟ هل هناك منتجات يمكنك بيعها تتعلق بهواياتك أو من شأنها أن تحل إحباطًا لديك مشتركً بينك وبين الآخرين؟

•البحث ما بين المنتجات الحالية. اطلع على مراجعات المنتج لمعرفة ما إذا كانت هناك شكاوى شائعة حول المنتجات الشائعة وما إذا كان بإمكانك تحديد الفجوات في السوق٠

•الاستفادة من الانماط السائدة. إذا لاحظت أن منتجًا معينًا يظهر في كل مكان، أو إذا كانت لديك فكرة رائعة للمساعدة في تحقيق أقصى استفادة من شيء شائع، فقد تكون على طريق أفكار تجارية رائعة عبر الإنترنت٠
تذكر ، كل ما تحتاجه هو فكرة واحدة لتبدأ. تم إطلاق العديد من الشركات الناجحة بمنتج مميز وتوسعت إلى سلع تكميلية٠

1. Identify a business idea

Finding a business idea is something you can approach systematically by relying on time-tested approaches that have worked for other entrepreneurs. No matter whether you are looking to start a low-investment business on the side or you would prefer to go all-in on your idea, the best way to find a product to sell includes strategies like:
• Mining your personal interests. What do you like to do in your spare time? Are there products you can sell that relate to your hobbies or that would solve a common frustration you have?
• Research existing products. Peruse product reviews to see if there are common complaints about popular products and if you can identify gaps in the market.
• Capitalize on trends. If you notice a particular product seems to be popping up everywhere, or you have a great idea to help make the most of a popular item, you might be on to great online business ideas.
Remember, all you need is one idea to get started. Many successful businesses launched with a signature product and expanded into complementary goods from there.
