You have an idea for an amazing new product. You know it’s going to be big, huge even. Something that will almost certainly sell itself once it hits the market. The next best thing since sliced bread!

But then you start researching. You get overwhelmed. You don’t know where to start or who to turn to for advice. Will your idea even work in reality? Will someone try to steal it?

You scour the internet looking for answers to all the questions you have, only to find there’s not much out there that will help put you on the right track (we know, we looked, it’s sad).

It doesn’t have to be that way. We have scoured the internet looking for all the questions people wanting to create a new product ask about design, prototyping and development. Then we picked the most common and important ones and combined them with the advice we give clients on a daily basis.So maybe you give up. You resign your product idea to a shelf in your basement, never to see the light of day. Or even worse you see someone beat you to it, produce almost exactly the same thing the next year and go on to make thousands or millions of dollars. When making a new product, it is a great idea to have product liability. My friend didn’t have legal representation when making his new product and he put his great product out on the market and got slammed with a lawsuit because of a defective product. Becker Law (https://www.beckerlaw.com/) is fantastic at dealing with these kinds of cases.

The end result is what you’re reading: the most in-depth guide for taking your ideas from concept to production, affordably and with the least amount of overwhelm possible out there on the internet.
