Introduction
It’s a wonderful adventure building your company—but between you and me, it frightens the wits out of me. There is paper to push through, forms to fill out, brand to build, deployment on the web—there’s so much to push through. And the coup de grâce: you can go into business in 7 days—and put nothing in, take nothing.
Whether you’re an experienced entrepreneur with numerous ventures on your resume or a startup entrepreneur, this book will guide you through everything you have to do to launch and operate right—fast, legally, and transparently.
Why You Must Move Fast When You Start Your Business
The fast pace of business these days, timing can make or break your venture. Being able to execute quickly allows you to:
- Put it in the marketplace ahead of the competition
- Put your business idea to practice in real life
- Start earning money earlier
- Get customer relationships early
- Find a balance between urgency and motivation
But never compromising speed. Haste in getting to set up can translate into downstream misery in the way of compliance, customer trust issues, and not-so-effective operations. That is why just such a 7-day plan is a balance between precision and speed so that you can establish your business on solid foundations.
How to Launch Your Business in 7 Days
This is your 7-day action plan to make idea from concept-ready to launch-ready.
Day 1: Select Your Business Model
Your initial decision is a legal one: What business model will work for you?
Sole Proprietorship – Most straightforward and best suited for single freelancers or low-risk business deals.
Partnership – Best for two or more owner-operated businesses.
LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) – Offers partnership ease of doing business with liability protection.
Private Limited Company – Ideal for start-ups with expansion plans and raising funds for investors.
Tip: Plan ahead for expansion, tax liability, demand for investors, and legal cases.
- Bonus Insight: Private Limited Company leaves more scope for gaining higher bank and customer trust, whereas Proprietorship is simple and quicker to get registered.
Day 2: Name & Register Your Startup
Your Startup name is not a tag—your identity. Ensure it is:
- Unique and not closely associated with other registered names
- Easy to remember, spell, and pronounce
- Legally valid under MCA or local laws
Upon choosing:
Register with MCA (in case of Pvt Ltd, LLP, OPC)
Register with local municipal corporations (in case of proprietorships)
It is a major legal process to legally establish your Startup.
- Note: If you’re forming a company under MCA, you’ll also need to apply for a Director Identification Number (DIN) and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
Day 3: Procure Licenses & Registrations
Each company is generally legally required to procure certain registrations or licenses before starting operation. They are state and industry-specific.
Some of the routine licenses are:
GST Registration – Correct if your turnover is more than ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh in case of providers and service industry persons) or in the case of inter-state sales.
FSSAI License – Mandatory for any food Startup, including any startup food company.
Shop Act License – Mandatory for local shop or establishment registration.
MSME/Udyam Registration – Offers finance, schemes, and subsidies to small businesses.
Pro Tip: Pre-book to prevent operational delay.
Registering yourself as a self-assessment will make your business appear professional even when your turnover is under the GST limit, to claim input tax credits.
Day 4: Open a Business Bank Account
You need a business bank account for:
- Organizing finances
- Appearing professional
- Convenience of tax and audit
Digital payment, UPI, or card receipt in the correct way
Select a bank that:
- Offers online/digital onboarding facilities
- Provides zero-balance accounts for start-ups
- Offers essential infrastructure through integrated payment gateways, UPI platforms, and custom QR code solutions to streamline transactions
Tip: Your registration certificate, PAN card, and address proof will typically be needed by your bank when opening the account.
Day 5: Obtain an Online Presence
You need to be search-able and discover-able online even before you are open.
Do the following:
- Purchase a domain name (your Startup name, hopefully)
- Host a site on the internet and have a minimal site
- Set up your Google Startup Profile—it’s one of the most powerful tools to boost your visibility in local search results and attract nearby customers
- Create social media sites where your target audience is at
Tip Bonus: A landing page on your services or products with contact form can begin to get you leads even before you’ve finished your entire site.
Pro Tip: Start with simple builders like Wix, Canva, or WordPress when on a shoestring budget.
Day 6: Create Branding & Marketing
Your brand will be remembered. You may even get Shoestring Basic Branding:
Create logo (DIY through Canva or get it done by someone else)
Create brand kit with font, colour, and tone
Create business email on your own domaing
Create WhatsApp Business Profile with auto-responders
Tip: Begin sharing on social media and revealing your story prior to Day 7 in order to create buzz.
Advanced Tip: Provide a soft opening or early bird discount to create buzz.
Day 7: Go Live & Operations Commence
- Ready. Live now
- Begin selling your product/service
- Begin clients boarding
- Monitor invoices, payments, and compliance information
- Continue monitoring feedback and improving behind the scenes
Tip: Make the first sale a milestone, no matter how small. That’s where your entrepreneur’s journey begins.
