Entrepreneurs require a number of characteristics in order to create a successful small business-motivation, talent, research, planning, and start up capital. These characteristics, among others, are necessary to start a small business in any field-accounting, brokerage, consulting, electronics, restaurants, retail, photography, pet supplies, court transcription, online businesses, and more.

Assessing what you have and getting what you need are both important in starting a new small business.

- To start a small business, an entrepreneur needs not only to research, plan, and raise capital, but must be equipped with certain attributes, such as motivation, desire, talent, discipline and patience.
- To start up a small business in the right field, an entrepreneur should ask himself what he likes to do, what he is good at, what valuable skills he has, and if he has the aforementioned characteristics. Research should include what's going on in today's market, and information about possible competitors.
- For better results in the end, entrepreneurs must examine their business goals in the beginning, and decide what they want and should expect from their start-up ventures. The business plan is a valuable part of raising capital to finance the business.
- After the business plan is formed, seeking capital is an important step in starting a new small business. Some options for finding money are friends and family, private or angel investors, bank loans, and grants.
