Hey Davis Coworking community,
It's Do here. Over the past couple of years, I've had the incredible opportunity to witness so many of you nurture your ideas and ambitions right here within these walls. This has made me reflect on when I started Davis Coworking only 4 years ago. I remember the exciting highs and challenging lows of getting my own business off the ground (and am still working hard to keep it off the ground).
A few years back (during the start of the pandemic), I pieced together the "Start a Business - Resources" app. Creating this resource was a passion project, built with the sole aim of helping small business entrepreneurs be successful. I wanted it to be that compass I wish I had at the start. Maybe this resource can be of help for your journey!
Why should you check it out? Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find:
Start at Square One: From selecting the perfect business idea, diving deep into market research, to choosing the right sector and industry – lay a solid foundation.
Legal & Administrative Essentials: Navigate your way through picking a legal structure, registering your business, acquiring a tax number (EIN), and ensuring your business is legally sound and compliant.
Financial Blueprint: Find the right bank, finance your startup, streamline accounting, and even select the best payment processor. Your fiscal health is paramount!
Branding & Digital Presence: Dive into designing a logo, setting up a professional website and email, and ensure you're visible with directory registrations. Plus, boost your brand with pro photos, catchy marketing messages, and strategic SEO.
Marketing & Sales: From social media platform selection to setting up ads, ensure your brand gets the spotlight it deserves. Manage sales effectively and let your customers book with ease!
Operational Smoothness: Find the perfect office space, track maintenance, automate processes to save time, and even explore social responsibility for a sustainable business.
Team Building & Management: Get tips on hiring the right employees, discover effective management styles, and ensure your business culture thrives.
Starting a business can be a maze of decisions. But with the right tools, it doesn't have to be. So, why not give yourself an edge with this app? Best part? The app and most of its resources are totally free.
Think of this as a little nudge, a boost, a push in the right direction. If I can make the journey a bit easier for you, then it's all worth it.
Stay inspired and keep pushing boundaries,
~Do
