How To Start Your Own Side Business

You’ve decided to start your own side business and now you want to know how. Starting your own side business is a great way to create an income stream, whether you’re looking to supplement your current salary or jump into a new career altogether. We’ll walk you through steps to help you start your own side business.

Choose a Niche You’ll Love

Starting a business is more than a financial commitment. It’s also an investment of your time, efforts and energy—so it helps if it’s something you enjoy. If your life is centered around health and wellness, for example, you probably won’t want to start a junk food vending business. Healthy vending can be a great side business for personal trainers, nutritionists, physical therapists, holistic practitioners and other healthcare professionals. Or maybe you’re just really passionate about your personal health and that of your family and friends. Starting your own healthy vending side business is a great way to bring healthier options to your neighbors, coworkers and community.

Does Your Side Business Fill a Need?

In addition to passion, you’ll also need customers. After all, there’s no point in starting a side business in an oversaturated market. A little healthy research can help you decide if your business idea is a viable one, and is the perfect jumping-off point for the next step in deciding how to start your own side business.

Create a Business Plan

You’ve done your research, now you’ll need to create a business plan. This will help you set short-term and long-term goals, and decide how to structure, run and grow your own side business.

A few things to consider:

Do you want a business partner or to be a solopreneur?
Will you start small, relying on your own manpower to run your side business?
Should you hire employees as you grow?
Do you have enough money saved for your initial investment?
Will you need to obtain business financing?
What is your break-even point vs. your profit margin?

One benefit to starting your own side business is that you can keep your day job while you build and grow your supplemental income. In time, your side gig may even become your full-time career. That’s the beauty of being an entrepreneur: you set the pace for your business growth and goals.

Networking and Business Support
