User: I'm thinking of starting a new business. What do I need to consider before I get started?
Assistant: Before you get started with your new business, consider any legal requirements or permits you will need to acquire. Additionally, you should consider your proposed budget, potential sources of funding and how to market your business. Think about how you will plan and structure your business, such as choosing a business structure and hiring staff. Review the competitive landscape in order to identify potential opportunities and challenges. Finally, plan a timeline and list the milestones to help track and measure the progress of your new business.
