All of the work you have done so far is to prepare for what you may have thought would be your first activity – opening for business. Even now, there is more information you may need to gather and other issues to prepare for before you are actually ready to "open the doors."

The Business Readiness Checklist will help you to identify what these final issues may be. For example, these may include business licensing, zoning requirements, occupancy permits, or other state and local requirements that need to be adhered to. You may also want to evaluate the need for risk prevention and other special insurance coverage. If you have questions about these issues, be sure to connect with a local public business assistance counselor.

The point is to be prepared. Otherwise, you risk being shut down before you even start.
