Step 1
Write a business plan. A business plan ensures that you will set financial goals and helps you figure out your professional goals. A business plan should include financing options, short- and long-term business goals, and a step-by-step plan for accomplishing your goals.

Step 2
Establish financing for your business. From soliciting financial gifts from family and friends to applying for a business loan, it's important that you peruse a variety of options early in the process. It will likely take some time to generate income when you start your staffing agency; therefore, getting a chunk of capital in the bank before opening will give you time to generate business.

Step 3
Secure an office location. The office should be central to the business district in your region. It doesn't need to be a large space; however, it should be clean and professional. Keep in mind that clients and consultants will spend time in your office.
-
Step 4
Recruit talented professionals in a variety of fields. If you can accommodate a diverse range of needs, your staffing agency will hold more appeal than the competition. Thoroughly interview everyone affiliated with your agency and take your time selecting staff. Your reputation is on the line each time you send someone out in the field.

Step 5
Market your services to targeted companies and organizations. If potential customers don't know about you they can't use your services. Get involved with business groups around town. Make connections and tout yourself as the go-to person for any and all staffing needs.
