Would starting a publishing house be a good idea for a small business? how do I go about starting it? |
I can write well, but I have no idea how to get the business started! The idea is to publish novels (fiction), story books and comics. I don't have too much money though...I'm gonna take a bank loan just enough to start the business. How do I find all the information that I require for this business? any information or suggestions is well appreciated. thank you.. Since it appears that you've never been in business before, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. You have to determine whether you'll start a web based business or one with a store front. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE. The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a publishing house and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them. You'll need to register the business with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.
