Dreams: Meet Reality
You can envision the logo, your customers, and the dream of being your own boss.
But ask yourself these questions:
- Do you know the legal and tax implications of operating as a sole proprietor, partnership, or corporation?
- Do you know which permits you may need?
- Have you researched the market, its trends, and who your competitors may be?
- Do you know what cash flow is and how to manage it?
- Has someone, other than friends or family, said they will pay for your product or service?
- Are you ready for the entrepreneur life and the sacrifices that come with it?
When people learn the realities of starting a business it can be overwhelming, especially for first-timers. That’s why Invest Ottawa is here to help.
