WHAT TO NOTE WHEN STARTING A BUSINESS

We have talked about reasons to have your own business and today we will be discussing how to actually start up that business you have had in mind for a while but didn’t know how to go about it.

First thing is idea, thinking of what business to go into could be hectic, especially when you are not sure of what you would like to do, the best thing to do is to research whatever you have, if that idea is realistic and marketable, but these days practically everything is marketable, you have to know and think of ways to make your business unique, cheaper and better than other businesses out there. You could also go to the market to make more research or ask family and friends and also test run that idea before fully going into it instead of going into it headfirst and the result doesn’t come out nice. You can find a mentor or an expert in that field you are going into; you need the help of an expert to show you the ropes. You need an expert/mentor who will push you towards what you plan on achieving, no man is an island, don’t try to act like you know everything and you can do it on your own. There has to be someone who has stayed longer on that business to put you through.

Secondly, you need capital, starting with your personal finances is important, doesn’t matter the amount and this depends on which business you are going into.  You can also get small loans to start up your business but don’t go over your limit.  You have to take note of business finances also by preparing a budget and financial projections to avoid losses and overspending, borrowing money can be risky and it might not be right for you.  This is not advisable at all, but you have to know which risk you are willing to go for and how to go about it. Take note of every single detail down.

Thirdly, target market: You have to take note of who you are selling to and which platform to reach out to then and advertise to them, in this modern era, social media is the best form of advertising platforms, by posting about your business you are telling people about it.  You also need to be creative when advertising, your post has to be enticing and fascinating to capture the attention of the people seeing your business, and even if you are telling people about it, you have to capture their attention and make them request for your services, remember actions speak louder than words.

Last but not the least, if you need an expert or a mentor or a company for advice, to brand your business/company or designs logos for your small business, immortalinnovations.ng can do all these and we can also help you on which business you want to go into especially if you want to invest in properties.
