When making your plan, try to account for any possibility which may come to light. Think about the costs of starting your business, factoring in essential items such as business rates, flyers, charges from your business bank account and business cards. Many people forget these costs and it can hurt them later on. If you put some time and effort into researching your market and the business model you can help make things much more streamlined when things take off rather than picking up the slack later.
