The key to starting a successful business is lots of careful planning. If you’re considering starting your own business, consider these tips from the Small Business Administration and Farmers Bank.

Write a Business Plan

No matter what type of business you’re hoping to start, a business plan will act as a guide for getting started as well as for maintaining and growing your business down the road. A good plan defines your business and clearly identifies goals. It will help you allocate your resources, handle problems and make smart business decisions. It is also a critical tool to have in hand as you try to secure funding for your business. For tips on how to write a business plan, visit

Find a Mentor

Find another small business owner or someone with entrepreneurial experience. He or she will be a valuable resource for information and advice, a sounding board for ideas and a source of guidance. You might also consider joining a trade association or networking group where you can connect with other small business owners.
