10 Steps to Start Your Business Starting a business involves planning, making key financial decisions and completing a series of legal activities. The Small Business Administration gives a 10-step list to get moving.

Conduct market research Market research will tell you if there’s an opportunity to turn your idea into a successful business. It’s a way to gather information about potential customers and businesses already operating in your area. Use that information to find a competitive advantage for your business. Write your business plan Your business plan is the foundation of your business. It’s a roadmap for how to structure, run and grow your new business. You’ll use it to convince people that working with you — or investing in your company — is a smart choice.

Fund your business Your business plan will help you figure out how much money you’ll need to start your business. If you don’t have that amount on hand, you’ll need to either raise or borrow the capital. Fortunately, there are more ways than ever to find the capital you need. Pick your business location Your business location is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Whether you’re setting up a brick-and-mortar business or launching an online store, the choices you make could affect your taxes, legal requirements, and revenue.

THE RIGHT LOAN. THE RIGHT RATES. THE RIGHT BANK. Looking for the perfect loan to fit your specific needs? From auto loans to business loans, our experienced bankers are ready to help you get the funds you need easily and quickly. Stop by or call your local United Community Bank for more details.

Choose a business structure The legal structure you choose for your business will impact your business registration requirements, how much you pay in taxes and your personal liability. Choose your business name It’s not easy to pick the perfect name. You’ll want one that reflects your brand and captures your spirit. You’ll also want to make sure your business name isn’t already being used by someone else.

Register your business Once you’ve picked the perfect business name, it’s time to make it legal and protect your brand. If you’re doing business under a name different than your own, you’ll need to register with the federal government, and maybe your state government, too.

Get federal and state tax IDs You’ll use your employer identification number (EIN) for important steps to start and grow your business, like opening a bank account and paying taxes. It’s like a

social security number for your business. Some — but not all — states require you to get a tax ID as well.

Apply for licenses and permits Keep your business running smoothly by staying legally compliant. The licenses and permits you need for your business will vary by industry, state, location, and other factors.

Open a business bank account A small business checking account can help you handle legal, tax and day-to-day issues. The good news is it’s easy to set one up if you have the right registrations and paperwork ready. (Information courtesy of Small Business Administration, www.sba.gov)

TOURISM HIGHLIGHT –

Atlanta Motorsports Park

The Forumula One Track at Atlanta Motorsports Park For the Dawson County News Voted one of the Top Ten Race Tracks in North America by ‘Road and Track’ Magazine, Atlanta Motorsports Park strives to create an exciting community of friends and family alike, where you can drive your car the way it was meant to be driven. In addition to just driving in the fast lane, AMP has a kart racing school, car control program, stunt driving school, corporate group options, track rentals for media/product launches and the ever-popular teen driving school. The teen driving school provides teenagers with a unique opportunity to learn life-saving advanced driving skills from professional instructors. Students learn vital driving skills for life including wet weather, evasive and defensive handling skills as well as the dangers of distracted driving. 10

AMP’s main road circuit is a two-mile-long course, designed by Formula One track architect Herman Tilke. The track consists of 16 turns and 98 feet of elevation changes throughout the course. Two famous corners have also been incorporated into the track: Spa-Francorchamp’s corner of Eau Rouge and the famous Carousel corner from Germany’s Nürburgring track. The kart track is open to the public from 1 p.m. to sundown Tuesday-Sunday, unless otherwise noted. Being the first green and sustainable motorsports club, AMP cares about its impact on the environment. All operations are designed to cut waste and encourage positive growth dawson.org

LED lighting systems, solar technologies, advanced water systems to keep 100 percent of its water consumption on-site and online paperless options. AMP is also one of the largest recyclers in Dawson County. In addition to all the other services offered at AMP, giving back is something that stays true to its foundation. Since opening, it has partnered with fundraisers, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charities and other non-profit organizations to give back to those in need and promote positive change for all. One of the most notable is Rides to Remember, which benefits Camp Sunshine, CURE Childhood Cancer and Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities and gives families and children a time out from cancer treatments to join a driver in an exotic sports car for an unforgettable day on the track. AMP also hosts the annual Sparks in the Motorsports Park community July 4th event. For more information about Atlanta Motorsports Park and what they have to offer, visit: atlantamotorsportspark.com.

Youth Leadership teaches students about community Future leaders of Dawson County get an opportunity to view the community through a unique perspective courtesy of a program hosted by the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce and Dawson County Board of Education. Youth Leadership Dawson leads 14 sophomores and juniors from Dawson County High School through a variety of leadership skills training as well as visiting portions of the community not seen every day. The students also learned about industries and careers available to them in Dawson County. The Youth Leadership Dawson program was launched as a class project of the Leadership Dawson Class of 2016. “Youth Leadership Dawson was a joint venture between the Dawson County School District and the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce that focused on providing students with a wide array of leadership experiences,” Dawson County School Superintendent and Leadership Dawson 2016 class member Dr. Damon Gibbs said. Students were nominated for the program by their

teachers and then interviewed and selected by a panel of business and community leaders. Each session is led by different members of the Leadership Dawson Class who were trained by the JW Fanning Institute through the University of Georgia. The Youth Leadership students get to see local and state government in action as well as learn about manufacturing, banking and medical industries in Dawson County. The students also enjoy a fine-dining meal at Amicalola Falls Lodge where they were taught proper dining etiquette. The students also had team building and leadership exercises to complete in each session. The students are also recognized at a Board of Education meeting upon graduation. “We look forward to seeing many more students grow from this opportunity in the future,” Gibbs said.

Ambassadors Get Inside Track to Business in Dawson The 2018 Ambassador group is chaired by Anna Duncan. Ambassadors are: Jacki Scarborough, Cathy Holcombe, Bethany and Ken Goines, Tiffany Gillian, Peggy Sessions, Martha Holbrook, Michele Stewart, Mary Pope and David Jordan.

Looking to take your networking to the next level? Consider joining the Ambassador Program at the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce. “Ambassadors see a section of the community that most people don’t,” said Chamber President Christie Haynes. “We have a lot of unique industry in Dawson County and our ambassadors get to see that firsthand.” Ambassadors serve as liaisons between the chamber and the community. They check in on member businesses, attend ribbon cuttings and other chamber events. “One of the most enjoyable aspects of the ambassador program is the opportunity to interact with the community in a unique way,” said Ambassador David Jordan. “Welcoming visitors and new members to membership luncheons and business after hours events is a terrific way to meet new friends and expand the social and professional network of the chamber.” Ambassadors also help spread the word of the chamber’s mission of “cultivating a successful economic environment and a desirable quality of life for our businesses and community.” 2018 Ambassador Chair Anna Duncan says the Ambassador 24

Program gives her a unique way to get involved in Dawson County. “I enjoy having the opportunity to represent a county and community that I believe in,” Duncan said. “Being able to meet and educate new people in our area about events, new happenings and how to become a chamber member is a great privilege.” However, the program isn’t just about promoting the chamber. It also gives the ambassador an opportunity to share a little about his or her own business and build relationships in the community. That is what Juice Plus Consultant Cathy Holcombe enjoys about the program. “Building relationships builds trust,” Holcombe said. “And it is my hope that as I remain involved with local activities, others will realize my mission of inspiring healthy living in our community.” Ambassadors meet monthly to network, share feedback and learn the latest updates in the business community.
