New graphic design business.

I was thinking of Starting up a Graphics Design Business,and I was wondering if any upcoming graphic designers would want to start it up with me. When I say business, I do not just mean YouTube backgrounds ect. I mean a proper graphic design business, for real, as a career.

I do not know if it would work and maybe I am being too ambitious but as there are many talented graphic designers or here i believe that with time and effort, It may pay off and succeed.

If you are a graphic designer and think that this is something you would like to give a go, private message me on here or add me on Skype - FunkyDesigns and we can discuss it.

Few quick questions for ya as I used to work in the industry doing what you are suggesting.

1 - What experience do you have in any business management?

2 - What capital do you have and who will be funding the initiative?

3 - How will any earnings be split between reinvestment, designer and yourself as MD?

4 - What Graphical background do you have?

5 - How many potential clients have you built up?

Please do not take this as me shooting your idea down, it is a general interest and enquiry.

Don't worry about it.

Its just a few things to think about though.

As your still young maybe have a look around your local area. Check out businesses and shops and see what they are using for advertisement and such.

Have a try at improving what they currently have and see if they like them.

Your never too young to start trying.

Maybe start out by designing flyers for local clubs, pubs and youth clubs.
