Where do I start?
Posted by quinn on March 31, 2010I just received news that my company I work for is outsourcing my job and I have about 6 month until they transition my job to India. This is an opportunity for me to start fresh and I was wondering what is their for funding or grants for me to start a business. Fitness is my passion and I would like to open a fitness center for group and one on one training.
I would first start with developing a business plan and doing research on costs associated with starting a fitness business. Once you develop a business plan you will know more about what amount of money you will need for a loan. I would consider going to both your closest Small Business Development Center: http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbdc/sbdclocator/SBDC_LOCATOR.html
and www.score.org for assistance with your business plan
