There is no exact way or one way to start. Just start! 

**Laws and state regulations vary from state to state so it's important to check what the requirements are in your specific state.

• Choose your business structure (Typically DBA/Sole proprieter or LLC)

• Choose a name for your business

• Register your business name

• Open a business bank account and get a business debit card

• Get insurance

• Get your supplies

• Create a Facebook business page

• Get business cards

• Make flyers

• Sart talking

• Get listed in Google My Business

The following systems are what will help you get your business started off right and set you up to be profitable Quickly. So it's important to start developing them ASAP.
