Question by norton2628: How do you start a business by yourself?
I am becoming a piano tuner (meaning I am the only employee). How do I make my business legal and promote it etc. I just have no clue as to how to make the business a “business.”

Answer by kemperk
a; becoming a legal business and
becoming a profitable business
are not related to each other.

promoting it–ask every store
in a 35 mi radius that sells pianos
if you can list your name with them
as a tuner. AND you might
want to hold music lessons or
other activity to expand your arena.
MORE people want to learn music
than need pianos tuned.

IF there are enough people in your
city/county that need what you wish to do [my dad was a pianist],
start to just do it.

do not bother with being “licensed” yet.

after you have been tuning for
3-6 mo and earning a profit,
then, apply to your city hall
for a business license.
I used to recommend everyone
get their license first but
too many times, the company folds
right after they get a license
because the biz they expected
[profits] did not arise.
