I worked in start ups for years. I'll be happy to help you, more info more help. I don't think you should put too much info here for a lot of reasons.

Have you looked into what entity you'd like? Step one id get an EIN, gov doesn't care what you are LLC s corp DBA etc they just need to tax ya lol.

Also 97.5% I'll forget this thread and I'm not super active. Feel free to ping me/DM or what have you.

I have a great idea with a captive market. I have a rough outline but that's about it. How do I turn this idea into a business?
I think I know what you are going for, let me give you some tips.

1. Never get high off your own supply.
2. Get poor people to handle the rough side of business. Their loyalty is usually very cheap, but don't stiff them.
3. Take care of your own security. Letting another handle your security/plans is the main way you get killed.
4. Cash only, no bitcoin.
5. Don't fall for the acid meme. a pig farm is the way to go.
6. Get along with the local police and judge. Keep them sweet.
7. Stay off the phone for business. Handle everything by proxy.
8. If caught, call for a lawyer and deny, deny, deny. Don't ever keep evidence at your house.

Hope that helps in your business.

I'll slide into your dms
 
Whatever you do make sure you have access to credit or have good enough liquidity to stay afload in the early, non profitable days. It's a nice to have.

You can start about making a minimum viable product/service you want to sell first and go from there. If you understand the process, the market and the customers you can basically pick out a core thing you need to buy and use. It's easy to get caught up in the fluff.

Make sure you get an accountant and somebody who understands the laws that are active in your chosen domain if you want to do something fancy.

In the beginning you will sell yourself more than the skills and reputation. Basically your confidence is the only thing telling others that if you are worth doing business or not. You will market yourself like crazy, but don't appear desperate or lacking clients. Don't lie much, just appear like you already have the business going on.

That's my two cents.
 
Step one get a gun Step 2 choose your clients very carefully mainly white looking people dyed hair piercings these people usually don't put up a fight when you try and give them some financial advice.
Take cash only though
 
If it's a consumable and you're not just flipping it at farmers markets or out of your trunk, you're gonna need to figure out how people are gonna find you.

You don't need a 10k marketing budget, but basic SEO goes a long way. Weirdly, this guide for plastic surgeons has some solid strategy bits that apply to small businesses too: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ulti...rgeon-seo-expert-tips-strategies-smith-6xdbe/, skip the surgeon stuff, the visibility advice is great.
