What You Need to Know to Start a Service-Based Business
This lesson is an article published by SCORE.
Read the articleWhat you'll get
A short SCORE article by a content-marketing consultant lists first-year habits for a service business: name your town in your website and local listings so searchers find you, expect to raise prices as you learn, offer more than one tier of service, log every work mile you drive, and consider launching just before your busy season. The page is dated 2019 and written for the whole country, so check its tax and search tips against current rules.
Do this week
Pick one habit from the article you haven't started, such as logging work miles in an app or listing your business in local directories, and set it up this week.
