Common Myths about Starting a Business

Starting your own company is an exciting and potentially profitable idea. However, it also carries a large amount of risk.

Business Fact and Fiction

Do not let a common misconception interrupt your plans for the future. Below are some of the most prevalent business startup myths and the facts behind them:

  • If you have a good product, you will definitely be successful. Unfortunately, the real world is not that simple. There are many components to running a business successfully, including marketing, financial planning, and customer service. Even if your product is amazing, your business can still fail, especially if you lack careful planning.
  • Anything you buy for your company can be deducted from your taxes. IRS regulations are just not that simple – and the consequences for disobeying them can be severe. To avoid costly legal complications down the road, make sure you thoroughly research your responsibilities as a business owner.
  • You do not need a business plan if you can finance your own project. The truth is your business plan is not only for attracting investors. It gives you a chance to anticipate future obstacles, and a helpful document to refer to when complications arise down the line. No matter how large or small your company will be, develop a solid business plan first.

These are only a few of the misconceptions that could cost your business a significant amount of time and money. Our Iowa business startup attorneys can help you learn more about preventing major and minor legal errors.
