Locke was a great help for me when I started up, I felt guilty when I was firing him questions though.

It depends on the type of business, but there are lots of good resources in Calgary. Startup Calgary and Platform Calgary for example. The Startup 101, marketing 101 and 102 are really good free courses. Also they give you access to networking.

It depends on the type of business you're starting. Are you building a new innovative or disruptive product? Are you offering a strictly services based business? Are you selling someone else's product?

A good business plan even if you're not looking for financing I think is essential so you're not flailing around or playing it by ear is important.

Anyways if you want to reach out to me, I deal with a lot of startups and might have resources that can be helpful.
