Everything including the kitchen sink!
When you are opening your own business, there is a lot to think of. You normally start with your business and marketing plans. They most people spend a lot of time looking for the perfect location as business books drill into your head that it’s location, location, location. While it’s true that location does indeed help with the initial success of most businesses. What you also have to consider that pays a very big roll in your long term success is the proper amount and type of financing.
I have seen my fair share of business plans, and they tend to be on the overly optimistic side. While this is all well and good, the general rule of thumb is to hope for the best and plan for the worst.

The proper amount and type of financing will allow you to sail through the challenging times, meet commitments as they arise and properly execute your business and marketing plan to position you for long term success.
