Hi, I'm 22 yrs old and I'm trying to start my own online t-shirt business. I started using a site called zazzle.com to produce the shirts and I've been really successful. I like the company but I want to be able to make the shirts I want to on my own terms and express my creativity and be my own boss. I just want to know how do I go about starting a small at home Internet business, what kind of permits do I need if I need any?,how do I go about getting more customers and which kind of loans do I need to apply for?

  One of the most important elements for starting up an online business is finding out if there is a market for your idea. You need to know your target market, know your competition, attract funding, secure good resources, and build consumer loyalty. For financing there are different options available, raising fund from banks in the form of loan, selling shares or equity and the small firms loan guarantee is also another option.
