Starting a business in San Diego

What factors do you need to consider when starting a business?

Market Research

Depending on what stage you are at, you need to consider various things. Some people think the first thing to do is register a business. Maybe, but really the first step is doing market research. If you haven’t done it or don’t know how, maybe you can hire a third party market research company to do it. This is always a valuable investment because starting a business without first investigating the need or want for the business in the area is a disastrous mistake. So, make sure that if you are successful in setting up the business, customers will be plentiful.

Business Plan

Using the market research information you acquired, create a business plan covering all of the factors mentioned above (which a business coach can do with you). A business plan will have a logical and realistic structure and timeline in the formation of your business and will show you if you have a sufficient budget to set up the business. Alternatively, if you are looking for investors, a good business plan will make or break a potential investor taking a risk in your business. Business plans will also highlight if your business can set up in your intended location, dictated by zoning laws and permits which can be strict in some areas.

The more detail you include in your business plan, the more you are less likely to come across something you hadn’t planned for. Include the business structure including the management hierarchy, employee responsibilities, distribution of tasks, decorative layout, if its a sit-in service, seating arrangement, maximum occupancy due to fire code, customer turnover rate, expected profit per customer and as many other factors as you can think of.

Once this is complete, create an executive summary of the plan so that anyone, like investors, don’t have to wade through pages and pages of a document to find what they need. The executive summary, however, will direct someone to the extensive business plan for more information on any aspect.

The importance of a business plan in setting up a business in San Diego can not be over emphasised. This is the point where many people find out a flow or complication which they had not yet considered which could end up in saving the loss of investment that comes immediately after this step in setting up a business.

Register Your Business Name

So once you have a comprehensive business plan in place and decided to go forward, you need to register your business and business name. How this is done will depend where in San Diego you will set it up. A small business may simply need to register the business name with state and local governments; however, some businesses might not need to register a name at all and simply use the entrepreneur’s legal name. This however comes with downsides also when it comes to legal and tax benefits. Registering with state and federal agencies will get you a state and federal tax ID. Again, the method varies depending on if you are a corporation, partnership, LLC and even nonprofit entity.

San Diego Licensing & Permits

Once successful in registering your business, you then need to apply for federal and state licensing and permits. Again, the method and costs associated will depend on what business category you fit into but once this step is complete, you will begin to see your San Diego business materialize beyond paper. Next is the brick and mortar step.
