The Main Steps Of Starting A Business

Business is not just a word that defines trading, buying & selling for profits. Business is a way for an individual to unlock his full potential, unlock his dreams and give his life a new direction, the one he wants. Often when we see a successful businessman, we do think of starting our own business and it might lead us to a better life. What we see in a big businessman is his wealth, attitude, fame and many other things that you find in a rich person. But one thing that we don't observe is the way the person got rich and the way he prioritizes things. There is a lot of thinking, effort, and sweat that goes into the making of a successful businessman. Mostly young businessman fails to achieve success in their business. Not because they are not capable but because they did not plan well on how to take their business further. In this essay I will discuss a more systematic and progressive way to start a business so that it can reach maximum heights.

Every business starts with a thought. And I think that every individual should first find their weakness and strength and then think about what they want to do and what they can do continuously in the future. No Successful business starts on instincts. It starts with a good step by step planning. Starting a Business requires a lot of things but one thing is the most important for becoming a successful businessman and that is 'Patience'. You cannot build a business empire overnight. Every business requires nurturing to make it grow bigger. Think of it as a plant. You sow a seed and the care for it and wait for it to grow. Since a plant will never grow overnight, you can't do anything but wit while you take care of it. Same with a new business. You will have to work for it and have the patience to see it grow slowly and slowly. I will explain on how to plan a business and how it is done.

Select An Idea and Do the Research

The first step will be to identify what your strength and weakness are and then according to that think about what you want to do. A person who is good in Administration will never do good in sales and vice-versa. So select your idea carefully and then start your market research. Check the scope of that business idea in the current market and its future prospects. How much time, money and human resource will be required for the same and how much is the competition in this field. Good market research is the first successful step in starting the business. Once you do the market research, it finally helps to understand how to operate the market

Plan it Out and Check Your Finances

Now once the market research is done, start planning out how you will start the business and the finance available with you for the same. The amount of finance will decide the way to do things. Less or more, Plan out which market or area will you target first for maximum response and spend your finances intelligently. You have to make sure that every finance you have is used in the best possible way to grow your new business. Try to find new ways to promote your business that requires less finance. Get an accountant immediately who can make you aware of your expenditures and incomes.

Register Your Business and Get All the Required Permits

Once the Market research is complete and you know what to do, register your unique business name immediately apply for all the necessary permits according to the law. A unique business name is all that matters. If you have thought of a catchy and attractive name for your business and have not registered it yet, then it can be a huge loss to you. Imagine you grow a business soo large that it goes beyond expectation and then suddenly someone registers your business name because you never did. He will simply enjoy the benefit of your brand name while you will be banned from using something that you created. Therefore, whenever you want to start a new business make sure to register your name first before someone else does it.

Setup Your Business Location or Office and Hire a Team

Now start hiring your teams such as the marketing team, sales team, and accounting team. Make sure to choose your team carefully without any compromise as they will be solely responsible for the growth of your company. If possible you can also ask any third party to hire for your company while you work on other important matters. Also, try to select an office location from which you have access to other location quite easily.

Start your Promotions and Marketing

Once the team is set, start your marketing and promotion on targeted markets and location so that you can set a base quickly for your business in specific markets. Your marketing and sales team needs to be very efficient and accurate on what they speak and show to the clients. The better they are at their jobs, the more your company will grow, so hire carefully. Once you follow the 5 steps mentioned above you will automatically see the improvements, growth, sustainability, and development in your business. Starting a business can be very tough unless you follow the procedure to step by step and take your business to new heights. I hope this instruction was helpful for any young businessman who wants to do something different. Nothing bad in that, but be careful and always plan ahead. You will always have new ideas on what to do and what to start doing. Just make sure whatever you do, first think and ask your self what you want to and will you be able to do it for the rest of your life.
