How to start an advertising company?

I had finished B.Sc. Electronic media. I know Digital Film making, Photography, Video and Audio Editing, Audio mixing, Compositing etc., I would like to start an advertising company to do ad films, corporate films, documentaries, music videos, Ad/modelling/industrial/nature photography, Edtiting etc., I want to know what are all the things that i should keep in mind before starting. HOW TO GET CONTACTS?. Should i need to work in a ad company before starting my own ad company? Please guide me... Is this a risky business? HOW SHOULD I INVEST MONEY SAFELY. I CANT FACE LOSS... I AM NOT HAVING A STRONG ECONOMICAL BACK GROUND. I am from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Or is it better to work in any media like TV channels/ad film company instead of doing business?

If you don't have any contacts and don't know how to make them, you definitely should not start up your own company right away.





Instead, start work at an established company, to gain experience and begin building your network of people you know. It's all about the network in advertising.

It is such a cut-throat business to try starting a new media/advertising business in, that I would recommend first working for an established agency, gaining work experience and making contacts, before going it alone. With experience you will be able to work out a business plan to gain a funding loan from your bank.
