You might get overwhelmed with the sheer number of items on your to-do list. But not to worry; we have broken down this start-up checklist into the primary tasks you need to do now, and those that you can defer until later.

What You Need To Do Now

  1. Determine viability

Before you start writing your business plan ensure that you know as much as possible about your product, the industry and your target market.
