subject: Start A New Business - Capital [print this page] If you wish to earn more money (and who doesn't these days?) then you might want to start a new business. It is likely that you've already had this in mind, maybe since childhood, wishing to own your very own mall or computer store or restaurant or boutique. You may have shared the idea with your family or your best friend who has the same interests and dreams as you. The keyword is right there: dreams. It all starts from dreams anyway.
If you've wanted to start a new business for some time, then it is also likely you have already saved some money for your capital. You must learn how to be more responsible in handling your personal expenses, because that will carry over to how you handle your business budget. Start the habit of writing down all your expenditures in comparison to your income, if you work, or your allowance if you still receive money from your parents. Keeping lists is, after all, very important in business management, especially lists relating to money matters. If you train yourself to handle your funds well, you're off to a good start.
Once you've got the capital, the next step is to draw up a good business plan. You can do this with a business expert or a business student, or you can do it yourself if you've got background on the subject. Your endeavor to start a new business will depend largely on that business plan of yours, and of course, how you execute it once it's drawn up.
