You may think that the beginning of a year would be the best time to start up a new business. The timing does vary depending on the type of business you are trying to start. The best time for retail is November through December. Service business may be from January through June.
Did you research what you will need to start your business from start to grand opening? Do you have a marketing, branding and advertising budget added into your business start up cost? If not you should wait until you have enough financing to start. Most successful entrepreneurs will not waste time and start right away because they are financially ready.
Do you need a Business Plan?
A business plan is more for people who are seeking loans or investors. If you have your own money to invest, you will only need a business strategy and a financial starting point.
Getting Started
If your business needs investors, you will need to convince people that your idea is profitable. You will face setbacks, rejections, doubters, and haters. Don't let that stop you. If you are passionate and believe in your idea, keep going hard. If you have any doubt in your idea not being profitable, seek a business consultant before starting your business. As a new business owner you can expect to put in long hours starting and building your business before you even see a dime.
Starting a business of your own—whether full-time or on the side—can be a great move, provided you do so when the timing is right.
