Getting Started

Is Starting a Business Right For You?

Any entrepreneurial endeavor has its risks and a business is only as good as its owner. Consider the

following characteristics and skills commonly associated with successful entrepreneurs:

•

Comfortable with taking risks

•

Independent

•

Persuasive

•

Able to negotiate

•

Creative

•

Supported by others

Understanding Your Market

Before opening your business, you need to gain a better understanding about the market you are looking

to get started in. You need to learn about your future customers, your potential competitors, and the

trends facing your industry. The time spent researching your market will provide you with valuable

insight moving forward. It will also help reduce business risks, identify sales opportunities, and spot

current or upcoming problems in your industry.

Establish Your Legal Entity

Selecting the right legal structure for your business should be the first step in your business plan.

Making sure you get this right before opening your business can save you a lot of time and hassle later

down the road. A list of firms that can assist you with this are provided in the directory section of this

guide. These are some of the most common ways to establish your entity and basic differences:

Sole Proprietorship

•

A one-person business that is not registered with the state

•

Reports business income and losses on personal tax return

•

Personally liable for business debts and claims

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

•

The business can consist of one or more persons (or members)

•

Members are protected from personal liability for business decisions or actions of the LLC

•

Members distribute profits as they see fit

General Partnership

•

A business that is owned by two or more people

•

Each owner reports their shares of the business income on their personal tax returns

•

Each partner is personally liable for business debts and claims

C Corporation

•

An independent legal entity owned by shareholders

•

Corporation itself is held legally liable for the actions and debts the business incurs

•

Corporations are taxed twice

Business Planning

Determining The Feasibility of Your Business

You might be asking yourself, friends, and family if this is a good business idea. The answer lies within

your own passion and the homework you do before getting started. Any business idea consists of many

things that need to be tested. You need to identify potential risks and strategies to mitigate what could

inevitably go wrong. Preparing for the unknown and doing a full assessment of your abilities in advance

will hopefully save you headaches and financial losses in the future.

Types of Feasibility Planning:

•

Technical (Product) - Does the product work?

•

Market - Will enough people buy your product or service?

•

Operational - Can the business model be executed?

•

Management - Can you do this or find the right people who can help you?

•

Financial - Can all of this be done at a profit?

Formalizing Your Business Plan

A business plan is an essential roadmap for your businesses success. This document is meant to be

edited, updated, and continually refined as you go. At the beginning it projects 3-5 year forecasts and

outlines the route your business will take to grow revenues. If you are seeking bank financing for the first

time, you will be asked for business plan and it will be good to have for a variety of purposes.

A business plan typically follows this format and contains the following information:

1. Executive Summary

2. Company Description

3. Market Analysis

4. Organization and Management

5. Service or Product Line

6. Marketing and Sales

7. Funding Request

8.Financial Projections

Protecting Your Intellectual Property

If you have a great idea, logo, business name, or invention, you may want to protect it. Be sure to obtain

a trademark, patent, or copyright in order to safeguard your intellectual properties.

What is a trademark?

A trademark is generally a word, phrase, symbol, or design, or a combination thereof, that identifies and

distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others. A service mark is the same as a

trademark, except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than goods. To learn

more, please visit: www.uspto.gov/trademark.

What is a patent?

A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the United States

Patent and Trademark Office. Generally, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which

the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, in special cases, from the date an

earlier related application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. U.S. patent grants

are effective only within the United States, U.S. territories, and U.S. possessions. Under certain

circumstances, patent term extensions or adjustments may be available. To learn more, please visit:

www.uspto.gov/patent.

What is a copyright?

A copyright is a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including

literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer

software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation,

although it may protect the way these things are expressed. To learn more, please visit:

www.copyright.gov.

Finding a Business Location

Choosing a business location is perhaps the most important decision a small business owner or startup

will make. It requires planning and research. It involves looking a demographics, addressing your

logistics, understanding the competition, developing a space budget, and understanding state laws and

taxes. Determine your needs for the following when analyzing which space might be right for you:

Brand image - is the location you are looking at consistent with your brand image and identity that

you want to portray?

Competition - are the businesses around you complementary or directly competing?

Local labor market - does the area have qualified skilled works and what will their commute be like?

Plan for future growth - if you anticipate further growth, you may want to look for a building or

property that you can grow into.

Proximity to suppliers - this will matter for your costs and how they can find you.

Safety - consider your surroundings and whether your customers and employees will feel safe in your

facility and parking.

Zoning - regulations these determine whether you can conduct your type of business in certain

properties or locations. You can find out how a property is zoned by contacting the City of Muscatine

Community Development Department. They are located at City Hall and can be reach by phone (563)

262-4141.

Costs - very few spaces are turnkey for you to open immediately. Pay attention to costs like renovation,

decorating, furniture, equipment, system upgrades, technology, and long-term maintenance.

Understand that the terms of a commercial lease are different than what is typically found in residential

housing. Find out whether taxes, building insurance, and utilities are included.

Funding & Incentives

The Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GMCCI) offers facilitation for businesses to

gain access to the many incentives provided by the City, the County and the State. !This service is

intended to assist businesses start-up and mature businesses to grow while prospering within our

communities.

#MAKEITMUSCATINE STARTUP GRANT PROGRAM

Muscatine’s first and only startup grant funding initiative makes $1,000 investments into its early-

stage entrepreneurs looking to take a great idea and turn it into action. This reimbursable grant is

provided through GMCCI to new businesses that are just getting established all the way to having

opened within the past 24 months. Use funding for establishing your business, branding, marketing,

operations, and technology costs.

#MAKEITMUSCATINE MICROLOAN PROGRAM

GMCCI’s microloan is a short-term loan with a low-interest rate that is offered to self-employed

individuals or small businesses with only a few employees. Use a microloan to solve the small issues

that will help you do big things. Borrow amounts from $1,000 up to $10,000 for working capital,

purchasing inventory, buying equipment, machinery and hiring needs. Repayment terms vary based

on amount, needs of borrower and use of funds. Typical periods range from 12 months to 36 months.

MUSCATINE INDUSTRIAL REVOLVING LOAN FUND

GMCCI manages an Industrial Revolving Loan Fund for eligible projects. This fund provides low interest

loan money for economic development projects up to a maximum loan of $50,000. GMCCI will consider

a loan for your project depending upon the complete and final information submitted regarding the

proposed project and due diligence. Contact staff for more information and application documents.

MERCER-MUSCATINE REVOLVING LOAN FUND

The Bi-State Regional Planning Commission Mercer-Muscatine Revolving Loan Fund program targets

businesses that cannot obtain full financing because of conventional interest rates and lending/exposure

limits applied by local lending institutions. It is intended to provide the funds that complete the financial

package by financing the ‘gap’ created by these conditions. The program offers low interest loans to

industrial, commercial, light manufacturing, retail and service industries for expansion and

development purposes. Funds can be used towards the purchase of fixed assets (land, building and

equipment) and for working capital purposes. Visit bistateonline.org for application information.

SBA LOANS

The SBA works with lenders to provide loans to small businesses. The agency doesn’t lend money

directly to small business owners. Instead, it sets guidelines for loans made by its partnering lenders,

community development organizations, and micro-lending institutions. The SBA reduces risk for

lenders and makes it easier for them to access capital. That makes it easier for small businesses to get

loans. For additional information or to apply, please visit: www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans.

Funding & Incentives

TAX ABATEMENT

The City of Muscatine offers tax abatement and tax rebates of property taxes to qualifying companies.

This is accomplished by the 5-year Industrial Tax Abatement or by creating an Urban Revitalization

District that provides a 10-year tax exemption schedule.!The community can create a Tax Increment

Financing District and provide Tax Increment Financing by reallocating to the project company a

portion of the property taxes generated that are an increase over the base valuation determined in the

tax increment area.

The community has a designated Enterprise Zone intended to incentivize economic development in a

given area of the community that provides tax abatement similar to the Urban Revitalization District.

The Industrial Tax Abatement!of 5 years is structured in a declining scale of taxes abated.! The scale

is 75%, 60%, 45%, 30%, and 15% and would be applied to the current levy. The levy is applied to every

$1000 of value of the building and land assessment.

Urban Revitalization District exemption and TIF require a resolution by the local government

involved. The Urban Revitalization District!allows for partial real estate tax exemptions over a 10-year

schedule.!New construction qualifies for the tax exemption, as does renovation work that increases the

actual value of commercial and industrial property by 15%.!

The schedule of partial tax exemptions is as follows:

1st year!!!!!!! 80% exempt

2nd year!!!!!! 70% exempt

3rd year!!!!!!! 60% exempt

4th year!!!!!!! 50% exempt

5th year!!!!!!! 40% exempt

6th year!!!!!!! 40% exempt

7th year!!!!!!! 30% exempt

8th year!!!!!!! 30% exempt

9th year!!!!!!! 20% exempt

10th year!!!!! 20% exempt

Tax Increment Financing (TIF)!!can provide funds up-front. The local government would sell TIF

bonds that would be based on the projected assessment and the minimum assessment for the building

construction agreed upon by the project company and the local government over a designated number of

years.!The TIF amount would be minus the area’s debt service portion of the taxes and it would be minus

related bonding costs.

While a TIF payment is received up-front, the property taxes upon which this amount is based are paid

annually by the project company. TIF can also be provided as a rebate. This structure has no bond

issuance and requires that the project company pay the annual taxes due on the property. The local

government then repays the company annually for the taxes paid minus the area’s debt service portion

of the taxes. The Rebate is valid for the number of years agreed upon by the local government and is the

TIF structure granted more often by the City of Muscatine.

The City of Muscatine has a policy to consider 50% of the TIF levy assessment annually for up to 10

years for an eligible project.!Muscatine County does not have a specific policy.

Funding & Incentives

Enterprise Zones!allow for partial real estate tax exemptions over a 10-year schedule.!New

construction qualifies for the tax exemption, as does renovation work that increases the actual value of

commercial and industrial property by 15%.

The schedule of partial tax exemptions is as follows:

1st year!!!!!!! 80% exempt

2nd year!!!!!! 70% exempt

3rd year!!!!!!! 60% exempt

4th year!!!!!!! 50% exempt

5th year!!!!!!! 40% exempt

6th year!!!!!!! 40% exempt

7th year!!!!!!! 30% exempt

8th year!!!!!!! 30% exempt

9th year!!!!!!! 20%exempt

10th year!!!!!!20% exempt

Small Business Forgivable Loan The City of Muscatine offers a Small Business Forgivable Loans for

building improvements and startup cost associated with the creation of a new business or to existing

businesses significantly expanding into a new market, product or service.!

Businesses can obtain a loan for up to $25,000 for the business at a term of 5 years with 20% of the

original loan forgiven annually at the anniversary of the origination of the loan. Funds are allocated up

to $15,000 for startup cost and up to $10,000 for code compliance.!Businesses receiving funding must

be new businesses or be significantly expanding business operations to be eligible. Applicant must meet

1:1 requirements of applicant investment versus grant funding. This may be waived in whole or in part

by the City Administrator upon recommendation of the review committee. Inventory is not an eligible

grant funded expense but does count toward match.!

The City has allocated $100,000 in funding annually. Funds will be awarded to qualifying businesses

based on availability of funds. More information and application forms can be found by visiting

www.muscatineiowa.gov/smallbusinessforgivableloan.

Building Improvements Loan Program the City of Muscatine and three local banks, Central State

Bank, First National Bank of Muscatine, and Community Bank and Trust, have partnered to launch a

new loan program to assist property owners in Muscatine's downtown to make improvements to their

buildings and properties. The local banks are committed to the City of Muscatine's downtown and have

set aside $1,000,000 for this loan program.

Property owners will first work with City of Muscatine staff to detail the improvements to be completed

with a building improvement plan. With the City's approval, applicants can approach the three lending

institutions to secure funds for their improvement project. Loans will receive a fixed rate at 1% below

prime for the first three years with a variable adjustable rate thereafter for a term no longer than 10

years. The initial district for these loans will run 12 City blocks. The loans will be a minimum of $5,000,

and borrowers will still be subject to the banks normal credit standards.

Most improvements are eligible; however, there are some improvements that are ineligible such as no

signage, inventory or modifications that take away from the historic character of the property and

historic district. More information and application forms can be found by visiting

www.muscatineiowa.gov/924/building-improvements-loan-program.
