tthere are many steps to starting a business, especially if you are opening a shop as that will require much planning and mopney.
you really need to consider each thing in turn and write it down - this will form a business plan, which will then help you to raise any funding needed and give you a plan to work to.
there are lots of internet sites which can provide ideas and templates for a business plan - just remember that every business is differnt so if you used a template you should adjust it to suit the needs of you and your business.
the main things to consider are what you'll sell, how much for and who to, where you will be based and how much that will cost. for more ideas try...

Well, first you need finance, then a premises, then you have to be totally committed to your business, but, go for it, you can't beat being your own boss!

Go to http://www.score.org/index.html and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to discuss starting your computer shop.

SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.

Make sure you secure your name first, or at least check to make sure it's available. You'll also want to license your business, right from the start. I used legalzoom.com for starting my LLC, it seems to be about average priced....and no I don't work for them.

set up a business plan (there are templates on the net) approach the bank for a business loan, rent premises, get advertising, get some stock in, start selling.

1] What is your Unique Selling Point?

2] How much can you afford to lose?

You need to write down, 100 times "This is very hard!"
Then make sure you want to do it.
Get a good business accountant to help you with the paperwork.
Find some good business mentors
Visit the SBA, and your local chamber of commerce
And the rest will follow. Make sure you have all your paperwork lined up and signed


Good Luck!
