		<description>[...] Before you do anything, you must plan.  Without a formal business plan, you won’t have anything to guide you in your endeavors.  First, you must identify your target market.  Who or what will you be shooting, and what kind of photography are they seeking?  Also, what kind of tools and equipment are necessary to provide the service to your market?  Identifying these things are essential to figuring out what type of business you’re going to run.  Next, you must identify your costs of doing business.  There are numerous things to consider: Equipment, supplies, and repair costs.  Rent and studio costs.  Business and health insurance.  Utilities.  Vehicle expenses, such as lease, insurance, maintenance.  Travel expenses.  Phone and internet fees.  Even your desired annual income to do the fun things (and be reasonable in your assessment, guys!).  All of these things need to be accounted for when deciding your costs of doing business, since you and only you are providing the income to sustain all of these things.  This can easily be done by using the CoDB Calculator. Finally, it’s time to put all of this together in generating a business plan.  After calculating your costs and figuring out your target market, you need to put it all on paper.  Writing a company description and mission statement will help visualize the goals of your business and where you want to go with it.  Also, write where you want to see your business in 3, 5, and 10 years, which will give you the foresight to see how your business should develop.  For assistance on writing a formal business plan, check out Start a Photography Business.
