Anyone have any good advice for a newbie trying to start my own business? I have experience and want to go into business with a partner with similar experience. It's mostly computer repair and networking. All comments and suggestions welcome!
bugs in the way...I feel about you

Make sure you have legal agreements between you and your partner; consult an attorney, or legalzoom.com for help with choosing the proper entity.
Realize that your clients may take weeks/months to pay you for your services/products.
Get proper business insurance.
I have a friend that started an IT company 3-4 years ago and he has done extremely well.
When you talk to prospects be completely honest with them. There are a lot of bigger IT companies out there that try to fuck people over because they don't know the difference.
My friend company has grown by leaps and bounds on word of mouth alone.

And you HAVE to adhere to it.
Pay yourself a salary and the rest goes back into the business.
You could probably find a business student to help you with the plan if you are not familiar with how to put one together.
Don't go into business with a friend if possible. :eek:
Good luck!
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
don't forget this
