In the last area of this guide we took a good look at some of the other areas of business that you need to be thinking about as a prospective or fledgling business owner. It’s imperative that you’re as well prepared as possible for your new undertaking, so think about how you can proceed and make sure that you’re covering all the bases.
As we spoke about previously, there are a lot of organizations who put a fortune in their new business, set everything up, fit out the premises, manufacture the site, stock it and staff it — and afterward open the doors up, expecting swarms of clients to come barging in. This never happens. You have to have a great marketing plan in place, and bear in mind that your competition may well have put a lot of time and money into this before they spend a penny on anything else at all.
- Get your salespeople, employees or staff in place early and get them trained up. Source all of your consultants and staff early and get them included in the set up of the business. Make sure that you have an awesome accountant or bookkeeper (get in touch with different sources and possible friends or family for referrals), a fabulous lawyer or legal advisor (particularly in the event that you are renting a property as they can help you to figure out the legal ramifications of the lease and any other stipulations), and a great marketing advisor or person to help create your marketing plan early on which will put you ahead! You also potentially want some advice from a couple of different people like a designer or architect, website designer, IT specialist and so on. It does rely on upon the kind of business you are wanting to open but think about who you know and what you can leverage as far as people you know. Put resources into getting the right advice and information before you begin your business and your chances of getting ahead sooner rather than later will be drastically increased.
- Make sure you’re insured!This is a vital component of your business set up and protects you from being sued by people in the event that something goes wrong. As a basic starting point, you will require Public Liability protection — which protects you from individuals being harmed on your premises. This is pretty easy for you to arrange and you can access it through any company that offers business protection. That said, they are other, more particular sorts of protection covering businesses for everything from fire and theft through to income protection for the company. You need to seek out an awesome insurance agent, particularly one that covers with businesses and ask their advice. At the end of the day, have a chat with different business owners for their advice on what is required and what is not needed.
- Search for a coach and ask their advice!
Having somebody who you can speak with about possible business issues, and having someone you can ask questions ofis going to be really helpful for you when you’re going through the stages of opening your business. For example, did you want to get SIP lines for your business, or do you want to activate your entire communications system over the internet? For SIP lines visit Amcom , but for digital advice visit your mentor!
We hope you’ve enjoyed this three part series on how to get ahead with business, and make sure you stay on top of things with continued reading and continued work on the business sector. Your success will be inevitable!
