Struggling with starting your business?

Written by the design team at HVD Studios, LLC

If you are tired with your current job or career path, the next logical step is either finding another job that will pay the bills and bring absolutely zero joy to your day or working for yourself.  The bigger question: What are you good at, and what services will you provide?


You'll need to answer each of these questions before you can proceed to the next step → creating the foundation to your next venture.


Creating a foundation, or taking notes/coming up with a business plan as to what venture will consume your time, is a necessary step.  You'll have to know what type of structure you'll be (sole proprietor, LLC, etc.). where you'll operate (online), and how you'll market on either a zero budget or a low budget.

Next → you'll need to start thinking about your brand.  This part is important.  Don't cut corners here.  So many of our clients have been victims of making their own logos using Canva or will even pay $25-$75 for a logo in a marketplace such as Fiverr and others.  Your first impression needs to be a good one.


Finally, you'll need to get your business cards, website, and other print collateral items together.  There are several directions you can go here.  Some start off using social media as their platform but ultimately you'll need a website to establish credibility.


We hope this helps but if you have any questions, feel free to email us to discuss your next idea or any of our services.
