Most people who consider starting a business do so because they believe that they can make money from a service that they can provide or a product that they can sell. The product or the service will not make money if there is no foundation for running the business. Starting with the foundation means first deciding how the business is going to operate. Will you run the business alone or will you have partners. How do you structure the business to address concerns about liability, taxes, profit, and losses? Before you begin you should decide on how you wish to organize your business.
