<human>:  I want to start a small business, where should I begin?
<bot>: Start by doing research on what kind of business you want to start. Consider what your strengths and weaknesses are, as well as the current market demand for the product or service you plan to offer. Then, create a business plan that outlines what your business will do, who your target customers are and the resources you will need to get the business off the ground. Finally, assess the cost of starting the business and find funding sources if necessary.
