Starting a business
Starting a business, the key foundation stones
There are three initial elements;-
Skills + Partners + People=> SUCCESS
The above have to be used interdependently and in conjunction with;-
- A great business idea – USP (unique selling point) and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis
- Business Plan – comprehensive and effective
- Sales – markets, segment, niche, pricing
- Purchases – set-up cost, direct, indirect, overhead and flexibility of costs
- Funding – internal / external
Beware – not all businesses succeed for a number of reasons, some controllable / others not, however the following truism must be taken on board;-
Fail to prepare => Prepare to fail
