Welcome to our Interactive New Business Checklist
The West Hartford Chamber of Commerce New Business Checklist is a simple guide to help you start or grow your business. It has eight easy-to-follow modules, covering basics like writing a business plan, figuring out startup costs, building your brand, and marketing your services. Each section features actionable bullet points, and relevant links to further resources. While it’s a great tool for new businesses, existing businesses can also use it to review their operations, refresh their strategies, and find new ways to grow. By working through the checklist, you can stay organized, avoid mistakes, and set up a strong path for success.
Some of the links in the New Business Checklist are specific to resources in Connecticut and West Hartford. However, the information and steps apply to businesses in any community. If you’re outside the area, you can use this checklist as a guide and search for similar resources through your own state and local organizations.
