<human>: I'd like to start a small business. What do I need to get started?
<bot>: You will need to determine what type of business you want to start and then research the legal requirements for doing so in your state or country. You should also create a business plan, which outlines how you will finance and manage your new venture. Additionally, you may need to register with local government agencies and obtain any necessary licenses or permits. Finally, make sure you have adequate capital and resources to fund your business until it is profitable.
