Description
A segment of AVN's monthly magazine show, "Here/now", "Know Your..." provides a behind the scenes look at how our county government actually works. In this episode, we get some tips for starting a business in Arlington.
A
And
now
the
moment
I've
been
waiting
for
a
segment
starring
me.
You
know
when
I'm
not
hosting
here
now,
I'm.
Actually,
the
director
of
biz
launch
Arlington's,
counseling
and
education
office
for
small
business
owners,
and
so
it
was
a
very
good
thing.
I
happened
by
David
gains
when
I
did
so.
I
could
teach
him
to
know
your
biz
launch.
A
I
think
maybe
I
could
give
you
some
advice.
Oh,
have
you
identified
your
target
market
well.
A
What
about
legal
requirements?
Have
you
satisfied
all
your
legal
requirements?
Okay,
maybe
what
I'm
gonna
need
to
do
is
offer
you
some
business
advice.
Oh,
do.
A
No,
no,
you
go
ahead,
stay
seated,
but
I
actually
managed
the
county.
Small
business
program
called
biz,
longe,
oh,
and
we
work
with
business
owners
all
the
time,
and
one
of
the
first
things
that
you
need
to
do
is
to
do
some
business
planning
and
make
sure
that
you
understand
your
target
market.
Your
marketing
efforts,
your
competition
and
once
you
get
your
business
plan
design,
then
maybe
sitting
here
might
not
be
the
best
thing
to
do.
In
order
to
get
your
business
launched
on
the
road
where
they're,
not
that
many
people
walking
by.
A
A
A
Well,
David:
this
is
the
10th
floor,
the
zoning
office,
and
this
is
where
everything
gets
done
here
when
you're
first
starting
your
business.
One
of
the
main
things
that
you
would
need
to
do
is
get
your
home
occupancy
permit.
In
order
to
be
able
to
legally
establish
your
business
and
to
work
out
of
your
home,
you
need
a
home
occupancy
permit.
Oh.
A
B
A
A
That
is
also
done
here.
On
the
10th
floor.
You
can
get
your
signage
permit
so
that
you
can
put
up
a
sign
not
in
your
home,
but
on
your
commercial
space
or
any
type
of
construction
permit.
If
you
need
to
do
any
type
of
build
out
your
building
a
wall
or
your
building
at
some
part
of
your
structure,
you
would
get
your
construction
permit
here
on
the
10th
floor
as
well.
So.
B
A
Could
physically
come
here
to
2100
clarendon
Boulevard,
and
this
is
all
free
right?
Well,
there's
some
things
that
you
have
to
pay
for
and
in
business
you
have
to
pay
money
in
order
to
make
money.
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
available
for
free
that
we
talked
about,
but
one
thing
that
I
would
definitely
recommend
paying
for
is
a
great
attorney,
a
CPA
and
actually
establishing
an
awesome
relationship
with
your
banker,
because
in
the
long
run,
they'll
save
you
money.
So.
