Startup Checklist

I have been drilling my head, pooling some time to kick start my business and there are so many elements involved in this process.
I thought let me put a checklist together which will help other entrepreneurs too.
Please leave your comments if there is anything to add.

Ideation and Plan building

• Assess your strengths and weaknesses
• Market and sector research
• Look for mentors - very helpful at times!!
• Look at your financial resources and see how you can use it at best
• Determine your startup costs - keep it low and be a miser in this case
• Develop a marketing plan
• Who are your customers going to be?
• Talk to people to find if what your approach is the right one
• What would be the possible financial Risks
• Source your suppliers

Operational Plan

• Decide your office location
• Choose a form of organisation
• Get a logo and marketing collateral
• register your firm
• look for an insurance agent
• create a bank account
• get an accountant
• get business cards
• get a business license if required
• look at the tax norms
