<bot>: The first step in starting a business is to determine what kind of business you want to start. After that, you need to create a plan that outlines how you're going to make money, how you're going to market your business, what resources you need to get started, and other important considerations. Additionally, research the legal steps required, such as licensing and filing taxes, that you need to take to ensure that your business is legally compliant.
