#Starting your Business For The Reasons

Every business that is happening on earth has some reasons for which it started. The success of a start up depends on why it was initiated. If the probable causes of you starting the business is just by seeing your friend doing good over it, or you are not answerable to anyone, then the longevity of the business is at stake.

It’s the passion, determination, interest and patience that act as the driving force behind the success of your start up.

#Poor Business Management

Poor management has been the root of failure of many blockbuster business houses as well. The task of the management includes purchasing, finance, production, and selling, hiring and managing employees.

#Inadequate Capital

Once a business is  initiated  it’s like the course of a river. The methods and steps are interconnected over time and also associated with investors, buyers, suppliers and many other heads.

To keep this flowing that too in the start stage it’s important to have enough capital in hand. A lack of funding can simply put off the business. And the idea of recollecting capital and go on with the work after sometime does not work when there are others involved in your string. So, save enough before you start.

#Poor Location

Geographical location is a critical factor in determining the luck of the start up. Suppose a Bengali moves out to Bangalore and starts a restaurant expecting the Bengali crowd to respond to the business, it might not work out because there are strong competitors in the market of Bengali food in Bangalore.

Hence, along with the availability of customers it’s important to check out the competitors already in the market, history and receptiveness of such a business in the market.

#Spending Too Much

Just because you want to water the business well, it does not imply only spending money in it. Labor, effort, planning, scheduling, directing – are crucial to the success of the startup also.

As you have cash in hand do not over spend expecting an over return. Spend ample and adequate to get the return of the investment you are making. Profits should be calculated at the end.

#Neglecting your Strengths and Weaknesses

In a start up, you are your own boss. You have no one to blame if there is a fall down of the business. So, assessing yourself and keeping account of the merits and demerits of the start up, is your task. If you do that from the beginning, you will have no time in thinking whom to blame in a later stage.

#Over Expansion

Thinking big is a good habit. But making it big that too in the initial days can make it unnecessarily complicated.

You should not branch out so much, that you fail to access the business. At the beginning, all you target is a sound business with a good mission and aim of solid profit within a definite span of time.
