It's the year 1960, and you live in socialist Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia is a bit different from the USSR, because it's a market socialist economy: there is some central planning (like any market economy), but most business is left to decentralized, autonomous co-ops. There is also a black market, and there are no taxes.
What would you do to start a business? Would you try to get some friends together and apply for funding for a co-op? Would you contact some Westerners and try to start up a smuggling operation? What sort of product would you sell, and how would you prevent it from crashing or getting shut down?

At least Yugoslavia was very safe, children could travel and not get kidnapped/murdered etc.

Why not make a co-op? Are you just rebellious?
