1. Getting started

Identify a real customer need and validate it with a small test before investing heavily. Choose one clear product or service.

2. Planning and preparation

Estimate the cost of supplies, delivery, marketing, returns and payment fees. Use a profit margin calculator to avoid underpricing.

3. Putting it into practice

Set up a trusted communication channel, publish accurate pricing and policies, and keep transaction records. Check local licensing and tax obligations with the relevant authority.

4. Key considerations

Improve your offering based on customer feedback and measure results over time.
