Starting a Business Whether you aspire to run your own company, work independently using your skills base as a source of income, or you plan to set up a company that will grow and grow, there are many factors that need to be considered in the decision. • How much will it cost to start? • Have I got the right skills? • Can I get a grant/financial assistance? • Will I make enough money to support my family? • Do I need premises? • Where do i stand on legal requirements? • Can you explain tax and national insurance in easy to understand terms? • Where will my customers come from?
Market Research Market Research is an essential part of any business. Need to ask: • Who are your potential customers? • What do you know about them? • What are they looking for? • Who else is in the market? • What price do I charge? • Why will customers buy from me? • What are my USP’s?
Unique Selling Points (USP’s) • After Sales Service • Competitively Priced • Quality Product / Service • Free Delivery / Home Delivery • Guarantees • One to One Attention • Reliability
Operations • Premises • Equipment • Suppliers • People / Staff • Production Process • Systems & Processes • Legal Aspect • Health & Safety • Quality Control
Financial Information • Expected Sales • Set up Costs • Operational / Day to Day Costs • Funding Requirement • Sources of Funding
