Setup a Place of Business

Now, you might be running your business out of your cellar, however you need to give the impression that you are bigger than you really are.  Go up to your local post office, and see if you can setup a PO Box address – so people can reach your business by mail.  This also helps to keep your personal mail separate from your business mail.

Hire Somebody to Handle the Legal Stuff

You might also want to get an accountant to make sure you have all your finances in order, and make sure everything with your business is legal tax-wise.  How you setup your business, such as registering yourself as an LLC or doing trademarks on your name can be tricky – and it is best to get the advice from somebody who specializes in getting this sort of thing done for a living.

Setup a Home for Support and Questions

If you have a web site, you will want to setup a help desk to handle your incoming business e-mail.  Rather than handling e-mails the normal way, using a hosted help desk solution like TremenDesk will provide you with many more tools to answer your customer’s questions quicker, which in turn will make your business better.
