Put the plan to work
Keep a short record of your findings, the person responsible for each next step and any question that still needs an answer. For this topic, your final check is: resolve insurance and pickup arrangements. If circumstances change, revisit that check before relying on an earlier decision.
The next question to answer
When defining how the proposed business will actually operate, review choosing a charter operating model.
When preparing insurance questions for the proposed operation, review recreational and charter insurance.
Use the Charter Startup Checklist alongside the explanation above.
