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 |
The above is only a high level snapshot and for a more detailed analysis Contact MW Interim Finance for more information and assistance in starting and building your business.
