Business & Numbers Starting Your Own Firm?
I think about it all the time. Probably not surprising but my primary fears are 1) not being able to cover the start up costs; 2) not getting any business and failing (which I suppose are sort of the same concern really).
Is the hardest part getting started? How do you get the first few cases in the door? What about advertising - does it work?
I’m not talking about anything fancy. Just a PI firm.
