    It will be a good idea to start with a business plan so you know the ins and outs of your business including the finance, marketing, sales, turnover, etc.

    Here is a list of things you should include in your business plan.
    • Your basic product or service
    • Your customer base
    • Your major competitors, and how you differ from them
    • Your marketing methods and sales forecasts
    • Your company structure and operation plans
    • Your management team
    • Your financial projections, and
    • How your business will be financed.

    Good luck!

    Tip no. 1: It's spelled "stationery."

    You won't believe me, but this is a very sophisticated business. My advice would be not to go near it unless you have direct access to significant customers.

    If you do want to go into it for some reason, I would suggest you acquire a couple of existing companies and try and build it up that way.
