Robert Poste's Child Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 How about starting with some market research to find out if there's a market for what you have in mind and what the competition is like, rents etc?You could also look at the business banking sections of a couple of bank websites as they usually have helpful guides for start-ups.If you need a loan to start off then the bank would probably want to see a detailed business plan.You will also need a business banking account. Charges vary, but as a start-up you should be able to get 1-2 years of free banking from them.Good luck.
