So you want to launch a business.

First question to ask yourself: Are you sure you’re ready?

That’s not to say you’re not a fantastically savvy entrepreneur, or that there’s reason to assume your venture will crash and burn. But current statistics estimate that a hefty chunk of  startups are destined to fail in the first year. And there are a slew of things to know before getting started down the business path.

Startups all look a little different, but there is a solid set of advice, know-how and to-do’s you’ll want to pay attention to before rushing in. From marketing to time management, to finances and firing, it’s important to do research and understand in advance how to build a business.

Ready to take the plunge – or want to get solid advice from business experts before launching? We’ve got you covered:
