I would focus on marketing and sales. You can hire someone else to do practically anything like accounting, but only the owner can be a highly effective sales person for a small business.

You don’t “need” ANY degree to start your own business. There is no such law or requirement in ANY jurisdiction to have a degree. Bill Gates DOES NOT have a degree!!!

It’s useful if you have them all but it is not required to start your own business. If you have a good idea and can put that idea on paper and present it to a loan officer at a bank then you are in business.

although a degree is useful to start you own bussiness you certainly dont have to unless the bussiness your starting requires a degree( such as if you started your own personal training bussiness you would have to be certified for that ect.)

It would be helpful if you have a degree in business management, but there is no such requirement of any degree to start your own business. way I am very excited about my latest find that can provide assistance in running a business successfully. An awesome site for all those who are into one or the other business. Check out http://www.fintel.us/

You don’t need a any degree to start your own business, all you need is a product or service you you can provide at a competitive price. If you go to a school like http://www.adelphi.edu and got your degree in business, you’ll learn about how to deal with customers, employees, money, marketing etc etc. If I were you I would try to do both, because if you business fails then you need something to fall back on. Plus if your learning this stuff in the classroom and doing this stuff for work, it will make both easier. Good Luck

I’m with Ryan, no college degree is necessary to start your own business. Of course, the basic background and knowledge of accounting, finance and marketing you’d learn while taking courses may help over time, but you can pick up this information elsewhere and utilize other resources. If I were you, I would check out the Small Business Administration site, http://sba.gov They offer information and what steps are needed to starting your own business – you’ll need to lay out a business plan and apply for a small business loan.

I’m not sure if you’ve given any thought into what type of business you’d like to open or even uniforms for your employees, but if you haven’t, you should check out SharperUniforms.com. They have some really great fashionable, yet quality and durable uniforms at great prices. You can even have the uniforms embroidered with your company’s name too. Of course, this may be ways in the future, but it’s always nice to see what your options are and to start a list of related sites that pertain to running a successful business.

Hope this helps and best of luck to you!
