Immigration status does not matter if you want to open a business.
To open a business you need great motivation and conviction. You need to have a clear idea of your business and be prepared. Establish your services and / or products, have a schedule, know your customer and their needs, know the market in which your business will compete and the location of your business. Also, you need a good credit history, collateral, and a good relationship with the bank to receive a substantial loan with low interest rates. Getting certified or licensed is extremely important, which is why you are running a legitimate business. All of this must be taken into account if you want to open a business. People who jump in and don’t prepare end up out of business. You must be informed about the customers and the market that your company will serve.
Another important factor that MDSBDC helps with is a business community where you will find customers, so you can have an open business, one with paying customers. You need a network to help you along this journey because you want your business to last. MDSBDC has relationships with almost every bank in the area and Spanish-speaking people for referral and assistance. They can also refer you to other business people you will need, such as accountants or insurance agents.
The pandemic has created a catastrophic environment and companies have faced very difficult situations. The catering industry has been the most efficient. Companies that acted fast, reinvented themselves, or expanded their business plan to adapt to the new market have benefited and prospered. Assistance from the government, MDSBDC, and our network has been crucial to the survival of small businesses in Montgomery County.
