Checklist for Starting a Georgia Business

Starting a business checklist podcast for new Georgia business owners by Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corp., Wendy Baumann.

Highlights of the podcast:

Ron Johnson: Now, Wendy, what are the key items on the checklist?

Wendy K. Baumann: Well, really, you first have to identify and understand the reasons of why you want to start a business.  I often ask entrepreneurs or business owners in the early stage to hold out their hands.  What is the “who” behind this business?  The “what” behind this business?  When, where, and most importantly, really, why?

You need to begin at this early stage of doing a self-analysis of your own skills and your experience.  You really have to look very carefully early on.  Is this business idea viable or feasible?  And then ask yourself the hard question, do you have the capacity and the interest to carry out this viable business idea?

And then, finally, still at this early stage is, I think we really need a plan, a written business plan as ideas, something ideal.  Something happens when you take all those ideas in your head and really begin to put them down on paper in a formidable plan for yourself and then other supporters along the way.

This was just a small sample of the wisdom collected in the podcast that follows. Have a listen!
