Choose your Toolset
When you want to start your own business, it should be easy to find information about how to register a business in your local area of residence.
Almost always, such information is readily available online.
Here is a simple example:
When you’re a US resident, the following is a very good article by Forbes Business Advisor:
How To Start An LLC In 7 Steps (2023 Guide) – Forbes Advisor
In the Netherlands, my country of residence, one can find a lot of useful information on starting a business on the webpages of the ‘Kamer van Koophandel’:
Just follow the outlined steps and, if possible, choose a form for your company that limits your personal liability. This business type is a tool to protect your private life from limitless liability in the event that not all your business endeavors return a profit.
Profit first—what does it mean?
Through the content I offer, you can learn how to apply a ‘profit first’ approach to your new business. You then need to start with limited investments—only what you can spare. If you can spare nothing, don’t worry, as I will show you how to start for free or almost for free.
Profit first means, in simple terms, that you make limited investments that you are sure you can maintain month over month, and you invest time and effort in proven methods and skills that are easy to learn and apply and have a high likelihood of resulting in additional income on a regular basis for you that is higher than the investments you make each month.
Tools you can use to administrate your business and keep your bookkeeping up-to-date are important to have right from the start. In today’s world, many governments are very keen to see businesses conduct themselves transparently. Tax authorities and relevant rulings are fine-tuned to prevent the evasion of taxes. But if you put the profit first formula in place, paying taxes where they are due does not need to become a challenge for you.
