1. Start with a solid Business Plan. If you don't know how, go to the library or "Google" it. Think, "Small Business for dummies" or "How to Write A Business Plan".
2. Your school or county may have a Small Business Association. Look it up. They will have all the info you need to start your business; registering, permits etc.
3. Did you do your research? Locatin? Pictures? You have to be able to present your idea clearly to a bank or whatever.
4. Research bank loans. Many banks have Minority Business Programs (women, blacks etc) or Small Business services. Inquire. DO you even know how much you need yet?
It might seem like a lot, but break down the larger problem into small parts. You'll get there. Write down your goals an objectives, keep good notes, organize, stay focused, be professional.
When talking to professional services: Bank, city planning etc. - Get a haircut, wear a suit, speak in complete sentences, be presentable. Most of all, be prepared. Knock 'em dead with your presentation!
Good Luck!
