How do you start your own business.. serious answers please?
How do you go about starting your own business about computer programing, fixing, building computers and things of that nature for people. A friend and I want to start something up but i have no idea of what steps to take. Is there a good market and chance it can work out? Please give me as much info as you can please!
The biggest asset you can have is your reputation. So long as people know that you are a good worker, and first and foremost honest, people will come to you when they need to find people to fix their computer or do some programming. Of course, you need to advertise yourself a little bit, and tell all of your friends to help you spread the word that you’re now hanging out your shingle.
The next steps would be ensuring you have enough parts and inventory to build whatever it is you intend to build/repair, etc and make sure you source those well. Don’t just look overseas because it’s cheap – know who your source is, and what their track record is…you don’t want to build something to find out their products are exploding, and you don’t even know it’s their product you have in your PC (think about that one for a minute…)
Good luck, and when you’re ready to move ahead feel free to contact me with any other questions. I’ve done a similar start-up, not related to PCs, but in the payments industry and have some knowledge of what it takes to be successful.
