Hi there

I work alone on my small business and would kindly appreciate some assistant here.

Would you need a team to make your business run a lot smoother? For instance, here is a list of people considered to make this work (I think):
1. Me (Boss/Visionary)
2. Accountant - Tax, gst, etc
3. Book keepers - Invoice
3. Sales Rep
4. Contractors

They are key people off the top of my head that I can think of. I don't have a lot of funds, and slowly getting there, so pretty much I am starting from scratch.

Is there anything missing here? In fact, I can't even plan it out properly, I have a small goal, and an ultimate goal lol.

I need help on:
1. How do I structure a business properly, and what do recommend to use e.g. do I use powerpoint, notepad, A3 writing pad, etc?
2. How do I reinvest into my small business once I finally make a profit (If it comes to it lol)
3. Would you recommend to go Self-employ or a Company in the long run?

Many thanks in advance
CHEERS :)
