Owner’s Checklist for Starting a New Business

checklist.jpg
WBSOnline: The attached file contains a checklist for all the steps you should take before you start a new business. It’s a “to do” list for starting a new business in much the same way that a grocery list is a “to do” for grocery shopping.
It contains a general, high-level listing of the tasks you need to complete in starting your new business. So, for example, while it lists “prepare a business plan” as one of the tasks, it does not list every step you need to take to create a business plan.
File Description:
The file contains a one-page document in rich text format (RTF) that is suitable for use with most word processing programs used in the Windows environment.
