a building company

Hello,
Which verb fits the sentence best: "If I manage to collect enough money, I will create/start/set up my own building company."? Are there any other verbs that would fit the sentence better than these? I don't think that "set up" works here.

Gene93 I don't think that "set up" works here. "set up" is good. Also establish .

I am not disagreeing with you, but am I not going to establish it once I have founded it?

You are not going to set it up once you have founded it, either.

Isn't "found" a synonym for create here? Once it is founded it springs into existence, no? What does "found" mean to you?

Yes. It is a synonym of "set up," "create," and "establish."

Out of curiosity, is that what a person would say in the town/city hall? In my country we register the company after it has been created. I realize this might be a regional difference.
