In this day and age starting a computer business can be a challenging proposition. The computer business like any other business needs a well thought out plan to be successful. The formula for success is a specific plan of action that you actively engage. Below is a formula that actively does just that!Step 1.
Begin you computer business by first deciding on the location of your computer business. This is very important! The clients that you will serve with your computer service will depend largely on the demographics and economy of the area your computer business is located. Use your local “Chamber of Commerce” to get this information. Establish your business where it is accessible, viewable and the need for computer services exist in volume. Large Cities are the best.
Step 2.
Now the area of legality comes into the equation. A License is needed for a “Computer Business” to operate. Obtain a license from your local business licensing office. Each County has one and usually requires one license for every county you operate in. A name for your Computer business will be asked for by the licensing receptionist. Choose your “Computer Business” name wisely. Look for names that are memorable, descriptive, and unique and say something about the computer services your business offers. The clerk at the license office will do a factious name search to make sure the name you chose is available. There will be fees for these services, each state fees varies accordingly.
Supplies and Stock is an area that you must be conservative, but you must also be a “Computer Business” that has some on hand. Remember in the “Computer Business” the stocking of parts, computers, software and almost everything related to the business, constantly is updated at a very rapid rate. You do not want to invest in computers, parts or anything that will sit on the shelf to long. The results are that you will have to take it as a loss. So the idea is to stock the essentials and fill your orders and needs on a case by case transaction. Keep one model only of each computer you offer. Buy more than one of a Computer, parts, Software and other items if you have no doubt of being able to liquidate the stock in three months time or less
Remember to always check local state and Government laws before starting your computer service business.
