My wife wants to expand her photography business into other related service areas. However, to do this, she will need a nice facility with seating for 100. Her photo biz has been self-supported for 4 years, but we will need a biz loan of some sorts to take this next step. We will also need to incorporate some way.
We're just now in the thought process and don't know where to go. We have an idea of what services to offer, the local competition, etc... We have not built a formal business plan yet.
My question to the forum is, are there resources in the area to help me generate a business plan, find funding, and general start-up help? Do these resources charge a fee or are there some which are community services. I am on the Creek tribal role, so can I take advantage of my citizenship with some "minority" focused help?
We're confident we can run the business and succeed, but we have lots of questions about getting started. Any info you can supply would help.
Thanks.
