A.    You have made up your mind about the kind of business you want to start. That is the first step required. Next you ought to create a plan to go about it. Initially you can start it from your residence. That will reduce the investment cost. You can get handbills printed and get them distributed in your residential area. Also request the grocery store and the medical store from where you ususally get your stock to put up the poster or a banner to advertise your product. By word of mouth, when your business picks up, look out for commercial space to expand. All the best in your venture.
