Four Questions to Ask When Starting Your Business

The Small Business Administration (SBA) can help you start a business plan. Explore the best ways to attract investors and reach your targets. One way to get started is to ask yourself questions about what makes your business unique and what your future goals are. Start brainstorming and answer:

• What does your business do?
• Who is your target customer?
• How will you make money?
• What niche are you filling?

Get tips on how you can answer these questions to tailor your business plan to your vision. Find additional help by contacting a business planning expert.
