Start your business by contacting people that you know ( friends, family, neighbors etc. ). Let these people know that you are in business, and explain to them what a convenient service you provide. (2) Network your business as a fund-raiser. Contact local schools, churches, civic groups etc. who want to raise money for their organization and keep a percentage of sales as your profit. (3) Take advantage of any gift giving occa! sion ( holidays, birthdays, engagements, graduations, etc.) Ke! ep a log of all special occasions for your customers. (4) Contact local business who having waiting areas (family doctor, pediatrician, dentist, beautician, mechanics etc.) This is an excellent opportunity for you to offer your service at little or no additional cost to the customer. (5) Ask existing customers for referrals. Most businesses get their start this way. For example: Your beautician built his or her client base from referrals of existing customers.

Write a letter of introduction, or use our suggested letter of introduction, to contact them. There may be a small fee to get this list. (7) Contact large businesses in your area. (8) Keep updates on new residents in your area. Write a letter to welcome them to the community and tell them about your service. Form a business relationship wi! th a local company that deals with major purchases ( real estate brokers, car salesman ). (9) Build relationships with your customers. Follow up with existing customers on a regular basis ( every 3 mos. ) . And there are NO problems. Hint: Customers follow up is crucial to your business. If you do not follow up, your credibility can be destroyed. If you only call your customers once a year (when it is time to renew ), they will be less likely to renew through you if there have been problems and you were not available to handle them throughout the year....Show more
Javier Holsonback: You can start your own business. My brother started his own Mechanic business after being one for many years & my husbands friends started their own craft wholesale business because that's what she loved doing and had experience in it. Its what you really know about what you are going to run that will make a difference. I had worked for this HVAC company and was ran by 2 other woman, and i! t was hell....I had IRS, suppliers, Board of Equalization (sales taxes)! calling because they wanted their money. It was hard telling them that 'we were broke' and had to wait for Accounts Receivables to come through....Show more
Piedad Bassiti: It's useful if you have them all but it is not required to start your own business. If you have a good idea and can put that idea on paper and present it to a loan officer at a bank then you are in business.
