Start a Business

On this website, at this company (1 Haitian 1 Project, LLC), you have the possibility to consider various ways of starting a business such as:

From scratch
At the start-up phase
Buy an existing business
Become part of a franchise
Become part of a platform

That's when you start with the business idea and set up every bit of the lucrative activity and the company itself. Sometimes, all you need is enough money to get started but a lot of time on your hands and great willingness to act as you learn.

You may want to explore the library, the games and the free mentorship available for you to use at your own pace one hundred percent online.

If that's what you're planning to do, then check out the free resources at the footer of the website. Just make sure you consult competent people along the way as well as delegate when someone else will do a better job than your having to learn first, especially when you're ready to register, insure, market your services, do your bookkeeping, file your taxes, create your website, set up your Google Business Profile, etc. You will probably need more than twice the help I just mentioned because there is so much to starting an running a business than it appears.

Focus on your strengths and start small. Make only one offer to one type of customer at a time. Make money. Be profitable. Once profitable, add an offer or a customer type.

If you should be earning a salary while you build your business, there is a section for job seekers that might interest you. At any point on your path, you may need assistance and "find help" with the subscription of the same name (find help) for twenty-nine dollars per month.

That carries more than one meaning. For instance, this may imply your yearly revenue amount is still low, or that your company setup might still be either at the idea or beginning stages of putting working pieces together. 

Lastly, that may also mean that the company has existed for a while but has not grown since its inception still being run with minimal efficiency (just what is necessary, probably using paper, doing everything yourself, working eighty hours per week, etc.)

Starting a business at that phase is the same thing as being the only one to do everything as individual business. Next, you might want to register your company to make it a moral entity and continue from there.

One of the ways you can start the fastest because you do not have to go through the phases of making an idea in your brain become real. If you already know there might be to learn about that type of business (especially if you plan on running it yourself), then you already have an idea of what could be required of you to make the investment worth your while.

Here are a few existing business opportunities to consider:

  • business in a box, which gives you a leg up as all you have to do is personalize it (ie, make it yours, give it your style, embed your values into it). Register your business. Each business in a box is different while one may require your oversight another might need more involvement (yours or that of a team). The business-in-a-box is reserved for yearly members.
  • Businesses for sale in the global marketplace.
  • Businesses for sale at your local marketplace
  • Online businesses

In other words, you will be running a branch of a pre-existing brand whose owner gives you certain privileges. Training is usually included as well as all the necessary parts that will make you successful.

As much as possible, think in terms of sustainability. That way, you amortize your investment in peace. Better yet, if you can think of offerings that your customer might request daily or weekly, that's even better. Also, think about the margin potential at equal levels of investment.

There are multiple ways you can make this happen. The obvious one is by becoming a seller on a website or on social media. Less obvious ways are for you to either get licensed or certified and join a company that expects you to have those credentials (portable or not); ie, some companies offer their own training and certifications. If you need help sorting that out or determine your path based on interests or skills or public, let me know.
