    planning to start my own business
    I am planning to start my own business in somewhat in a similar form. Since, I have been related with credit, debit and accounts work so I would be interested in a similar kind of business. I don’t have a large capital to start a company but would like to have my very own business at small scale. A knowledgable adive would be much helpful.......

    Starting a successful business will need to be based on your own ideas, bearing in mind your own skill set.

    Just going to point out your punctuation made that difficult to understand (but English could be your second language so I'm not going to say anything bad).

    First thing to do if you are thinking about starting up a business is produce a business plan!

    I think since your quite young it'll be easier for you to start an online business selling on eBay. Write a business plan, including a profit/loss forecast. You need to market yourself well aswell (I'd say just make a youtube video and some flyers and go and spread the word), make sure you do your market research and beat the prices of your competitors. You will need to set a legal structure for your business aswell (this, I am not quite sure of, but do your research). Choose a name, brand and logo and register your business name.

    And most of all don't rush into starting a business, take your time
