Starting a Business for Beginners

A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Business from Scratch on a Small Budget
Most business books tell you to dream bigger. *Starting a Business for Beginners* tells you what to do on Monday morning. This is a sequential, week-by-week walkthrough of the first 90 days of starting a business on a small budget. No abstract frameworks. No motivational filler. Each chapter answers the question a first-time founder actually has: *what's my next decision, in what order*. You'll work through: - Picking a business idea you can actually launch with what you have - The legal, banking, and tax basics every new business owner needs in the first month - Branding and presence without an agency budget - Pricing and your first sale, without overthinking it - The mistakes that kill most first-year businesses and how to spot them in time Written by Lewis Noel, who has spent more than a decade building, operating, and consulting on small businesses. Published through Chapter Collective Publishing.
