The first step in starting a startup is having a great idea.

One of the most important steps is obtaining funding. This can come from savings, friends, family, investors, or a loan. After raising funding, make sure you’ve done all the correct legal and paperwork. This means registering your business and obtaining any required licenses or permits.
