What would be the quickest way to start my own business?



I want to start a bike shop (not a motorcycle one)

I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

Research, research, research 鈥?this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* Principles of Bicycle Retailing III: All New Strategies for the 90s and Beyond by Randy W. Kirk
* The Bicycle Retailers Guide to Getting Rich in the Recession: Companion Manual to Principles of Bicycle Retailing by Randy W. Kirk
* The Complete Guide to Bicycle Store Operations with CD ROM, by Ed Benjamin
* Retail Business Kit for Dummies by Rick Segel
* Successful Retail Business by Entrepreneur Press

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures! Source(s): http://www.sba.gov
