I run a foods business now. I started with a plan and follow on it.
Looked for location and suppliers, calculate start up expenses, renovation, hiring and so on.
Finally get all the stuff for training 2 weeks before the business grand opening.

It took me 2 months to get my business operating. The process of looking for employees was the critical one for me.
