How do I write my business plan? How do I get a business license?

Gathering data and researching ideas is an important first step when creating a plan for your startup business. A business plan is an essential strategic tool for startups and entrepreneurs. Creating a business plan helps new business owners establish specific steps needed to succeed. Determining what licenses or permits you might need and where and how to get them can be a confusing process.  Accessing the road map and regulatory guidance is available through the State of Washington.
