So why do new businesses have such
a high risk of failure? Experts point to
the fact that many new companies do not start out with a solid business plan. Before turning an idea into a business, a
considerable amount of research needs to be done. The data should include information on the
product’s target audience and current market demand as well as the projected potential
for growth in the future. Additionally an
efficient delivery system must be developed in the early
planning stage that gets the product easily into the hands of the consumer.
Upfront there needs to be an
honest evaluation of the kind of competition the business will face and a
realistic assessment of start-up costs along with any legal requirements that must
be met. To save money, future business
owners should determine if equipment can best be purchased through liquidation
sales, at auction, or leased. Also most
new companies require technology so remember to include that into the start-up costs.
Once the business is started, be aware
of overreaching by expanding too early or too large and always have a cash
reserve on hand in the event of an emergency.
Keep operational cost low and do not make the mistake of paying out more
than you can afford on rent and labor. Lastly,
keep in mind that some types of businesses do have an even higher rate of
failure such as independently owned restaurants or tech companies.
