Plan your business!

Starting a business is a big decision. If you’ve never owned a business before, you may be unaware of all the things you need to do to get your business going. Careful planning and research will improve your chances of success.

■ Business training

You don’t need a degree in business to start one, but knowledge is power. Taking classes and attending workshops are excellent ways to gain the knowledge you will need to be successful.

■ Business planning

Writing a comprehensive business plan is the first step in starting a business. Your business plan will guide you as you make your business a reality, and it will help you avoid costly mistakes.

Making L&I Guidelines Easy for Small Businesses; Check out our video series: Essentials for Business

The Small Business Office strives to make it easier for small businesses to work with L&I. We understand most don’t have the time to sift through the many laws and regulations, and that they can be difficult to understand as well.

That’s why we created the Essentials for Business, a six-part video series that answers many of the most common questions small business employers have. Each two-minute video explains these complex regulations in a simple way that includes easily accessible resources.
