In the US, the best resource is the Small Business Administration http://www.sba.gov - they have a large list of resources, including an online tutorial on how to start a new business describing all the procedures involved.

Hello,\nStart by writing a businessplan where you specified the nature of the business projected revenue and cost.

If you are starting up a self storage business, then I suggest you get an accounting program like quickbooks which is easy to use and to set up. On quickbooks they have a chart of accounts already set up all you have to do is either change some of the accounts to what you want to call them or use the ones that they have. I hope this is what you was asking for.

OK, do you really want to nock your brothers socks off?\n\nTry following some or all of this:\n\nAnytime you want to start any kind of business, there are several basics that you will need:\n\n* You should first sit down and think about what it is you want to do and then write out the scenario in detail!  This may sound tedious, but it will help you clarify what it is you are thinking about.  Also, when you talk to anyone about the business (mentor, bank, clients, prospective investor), you will have a clear vision to share with him or her.  You can check any number of books at your local library or the Internet for ideas on creating a business plan or goals list.\n\n* Is there anyone out there doing something like what you want to do already?  Can you research what it is that they do and maybe even talk with them about what they do?\n\n* Are there businesses out there that are doing some aspect that you want to do?  In this case, you want to create an online drop shipment business.  What websites have you seen that you like (can you talk with them)?  How does the local McDonalds or other retail outlet do business that might help you in yours (i.e. how is McDonalds able to provide a product to a customer on demand at almost anytime of day – and do it with a much of high school kids)?\n\n* Never listen to anyone who says that you CANNOT do something UNLESS they have been there and tried that!!!!!  Anyone can tell you the good things that you can try or do, however, only someone who has actually tried the specific thing your are thinking can truly give you advise on the pitfalls that could await the unsuspecting.\n\n* If you want to look for a mentor (free or paid – although mentors usually offer their time at no cost), the question that you should be ready to address is WIIFM (What In It For Me {the mentor})!  What are you willing to do for your mentor to help them with something that they may need (for me it’s simple – I am looking for 10 points :-)\n\n\nContacts:\n\n* Contact your local Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce – they have business people who will help start up operations.\n\n* Contact your local high school, community college or university and find out whom the teachers are for courses related to your business (like business or computer/internet classes).  Contact these teachers to get some ideas or even to see if they will take you company startup on as a class project or special project for some of the student to work on (might give the students extra credit and you a free startup).  In the worst case, you might get the names of some good students whom you might hire to do certain aspects of what you need at a very low cost.\n\n* Contact you local, county or state governments (check their websites) – many areas have small business administrations (or some other agency that can help with various things) that have any number of references and resources available at little or no cost.\n\n* Go to your local library in the Reference Section and find the Encyclopedia of Associations.  It is a three-book set published by Gale Research.  The first book lists thousands of tiles of professional organizations and groups.  It will give a code number to use in the other two books to find out more about that organization.  Contact the organizations who have something to do with your idea and find out if they have a services to give you advise or local groups that you can network with.  In many cases, just asking for membership and publications information may give you a lot of useful stuff.\n\n\nOther outstanding sources that I have used in running my four businesses:\n\n* Nightingale-Conant – the largest producer of audio/video training programs in the world.  Many of their programs can be borrowed for free from local libraries.  http://www.nightingale.com\n\n* Entrepreneur Magazine (http://www.entrepreneurmag.com) – many great tips and ideas about running a company.\n\n* Rich Dad Poor Dad - http://

1. Think what business you'd like to do. Determine what you want to do, and whether it is profitable to do. Will it be a Web business or will you open a Main Street store, or both? Will you sell a product or service? \n2. Prepare a business plan - even if you are not planning to apply for a loan. It can help you think through your business, make you assess the market, let you know how tough competition is out there, and allow you to calculate your expected profit and when you can breakeven. A business plan is your GPS guide to your destination.\n3. Get your financing ready, whether you will get the funds from your bank account or find investors.\n4. Once you have the money, get the ball rolling. Start with making the decision on your business legal structure, then get all the necessary business licenses and permits. Then work on the business name, location, logo, insurance, etc.\n\nSome recommended articles:\n\nHow to Launch a New Business Successfully http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol51/launch.htm\nHow to Build a Business from Scratch http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol18/scratch.htm\n5 Questions to Ask Before Starting a Business http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol139/questions.htm

You may wish to contact the SBA ( http://www.sba.gov/ ) or SCORE ( http://www.score.org/ ) for help in starting a business.  They are excellent resources for a small business just starting out (and free, too!).  You should also look into either setting up a corporation of LLC to protect yourself legally.  Contact your state for the guideline involved in that.
