It’s about defining the design problem, based on your business needs.This guide can be applied to any business problem that might be; “I have started a new business I need a to make potential customers aware and gather more business and possibly expand.” Therefore we need to know more.

What will the designer or design agency do?

Once they have a brief they can offer you a quote for the work, show you examples or present some ideas. It may be that the designer has experience within your industry or they have solved a similar problem. But remember its the business need that you are trying to satisfy and not the aesthetics, the designer should handle that, there is no reason why you don't say what you like and don't like the two should not be confused.
