Starting a New Business

As you embark on your entrepreneurial journey, we’ve put together a collection of essential tips and resources to help you succeed. This page covers key steps such as incorporating your business, securing insurance, managing finances, and setting up branding. From accepting payments to phone security, these bonus tips will guide you through the basics of starting a business, ensuring you’re prepared for the road ahead.

A. START your business!

Why? Incorporating your business establishes it as a separate legal entity. Even if you don’t have an address yet, you can use a P.O. Box or your home address and update it later. Although incorporation might cost a bit more initially, it alleviates the need to remember to renew your business license annually.

B. TRADEMARK your business name!

Why? Protecting your business name is crucial! You don’t want to invest significant time and effort in marketing your business only to find out that someone else has taken your name and is benefiting from your hard work and reputation.

C. Get your Domain name!

Now that you have chosen your business name, buy the domain name. Make sure your domain name matches your business name exactly. If the “.com” is not available, don’t worry; “.net” or “.co” works fine as well. Most people will find your link via social media or Google, so your customers won’t need to remember whether it’s “.com” or “.net”.

Need/want a loan?

Usually, most people need some type of equipment financing (since machines can be the most significant investment in your business, sometimes a loan or lease is the best path forward). Standard CC offers a simple, streamlined platform that helps you find the financing option that fits your needs perfectly.

Building Your Business Website

Once your business name and domain are secured, the next essential step is building your website. Your website is often the first interaction potential customers will have with your brand, so it’s crucial to make a great impression. Here are some options to get started:

  1. Website Builders: Shopify, Wix, and Others

    If you want a quick, affordable, and relatively simple way to establish an online presence, website builders like Shopify and Wix are excellent options. These platforms offer:

    • User-Friendly Interfaces: No coding skills are required; just drag and drop to create your site.
    • Affordable Packages: Suitable for small businesses or startups looking for an efficient solution.
    • Templates: A variety of templates to choose from that are easy to customize.

    Shopify is a great option if you plan on selling products directly online, as it includes comprehensive e-commerce functionality. Wix, on the other hand, provides a versatile platform that allows you to create anything from a simple landing page to a fully-featured website.

  2. A Professional, Tailored Website by Gilmedia

    If you’re looking for something more customized and professional, we recommend Gilmedia. With Gilmedia, your website can be created to reflect the uniqueness of your brand, with custom color schemes, layouts, and graphics tailored to your brand identity, including:

    • Advanced Functionality: If your business has unique needs or requires custom features beyond what traditional website builders offer, Gilmedia provides fully customized solutions to make your website stand out.

A professional-looking website can significantly enhance your brand’s credibility. A personalized domain (such as @yourbusinessname.com) adds a level of professionalism that customers value and trust.
