Start-up Consultation

As enticing as the idea of owning your own business can be, it can too often be overshadowed by a paralyzing fear of the unknown - one so strong that many abandon the idea altogether, passing it off as wishful thinking.

Indeed, there is much to know when considering going into business for yourself, from developing your business concept to understanding the laws to which you will be subject as a small business owner. Your success will greatly depend on how well-prepared and informed you are to take on the challenge of starting a business.

Azure Small Business Solutions' inexpensive Start-up Consultation service is an enlightening experience that every aspiring business owner should have. For a surprisingly small fee, we will meet with you and provide the information and resources that you will need in order to succeed as a start-up business. Step by step, we will guide you through the often-confusing and overwhelming process of starting a business.

In one consultation, we will set your feet firmly on the path toward a successful start-up by providing the following:

Business Concept Development & Counseling - We will review your business concept with you and offer our professional advice as to how you can maximize your potential while minimizing risks. If you have not chosen a name for your business, we can even work with you to develop one.

Preliminary Name Search - We will verify that your chosen business name is available, both for a business license and for a Web domain (should you choose to incorporate a Web site into your marketing plan). And if that business name is unavailable, we can help you come up with another one.

Recommendation on Type of Business Entity - We will help you to determine which type of business entity will work best for your particular situation. From sole-proprietorship all the way up to full-blown corporation, there are a great number of factors that can affect your decision as to which type of business entity you should choose. We will explain all of the options to you and make recommendations based on which of those options would be the most logical - and lucrative - for you.

Form Preparation - We will not only tell you which forms you will need to complete to make your business happen, but we will also bring them with us and help you complete them. These forms will include the following:

  • Business License Application
  • Small Business Classification Form
  • Applicable Tax Registration Forms
  • Employer Identification Number Form
  • Any Other Necessary Forms

Education on Financing Sources & Requirements - We will educate you on various financing options for growing your business and direct you to potential lenders. We will also explain, in detail, what information and/or documentation those lenders will require from you in order to be considered a worthy condidate for financing.

General Guidance and Q & A - We will teach you the basics of starting and operating a small business, revealing for you the pitfalls into which many start-ups plummit. We will also answer the questions you have and provide you with resources where you can learn more. In the end, you will know, without a doubt, if starting a small business is right for you.
