Starting From Scratch

Creating a business plan for my clothing line has proved to be more difficult than expected. Sure I wrote a million business plans in college, but it is seemingly harder when you are dealing with actual decisions verses imaginary scenarios. The preparation for an investor worthy pitch involves loads of research. Professors of mine had always raved about the SBA website, and I must admit it has been very helpful. The Small Business Administration helps Americans start, build, and grow businesses. Their array of resources includes everything from lender information to mentorship programs. The website’s small business planner is ideal, mapping out the step-by-step process with useful links and resources. Also the sections pertaining to licensing, permit, and insurance information are great - being that we do not go into dept about those steps in school.
