Overcome Funding Challenges

Insufficiency of funds is often cited as a significant barrier for aspiring entrepreneurs. To address this challenge, consider exploring various funding options such as bootstrapping, crowdfunding, angel investors, venture capital, or government grants.¹

Embrace New Trends in Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is being redefined by different audiences and in different contexts. Stay updated with the evolving definitions and trends in entrepreneurship to adapt and seize new opportunities.²

Leverage Entrepreneurship Education

Entrepreneurship education and programs have become courses or programs to gain knowledge, skills, and networks that can support your entrepreneurial journey.

Entrepreneurial competencies developed through entrepreneurship education are applicable to careers other than “start-up entrepreneur.”³

Focus on Specific Trajectories

Entrepreneurship comes in various shapes and sizes, including corporate entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, women and minority entrepreneurship, and more.

Identify the trajectory that aligns with your interests and goals, and explore resources and support specific to those trajectories.⁴

Establish a Structural Base

If you plan to start an entrepreneurship program or center, ensure it has a consistent leadership structure and authority.

Consider different entrepreneurial structural models, such as general entrepreneurship programs, entrepreneurship centers, or departments of entrepreneurship, based on your specific needs.⁵

Develop Entrepreneurial Mindset

Entrepreneurial mindset refers to the cognitive ability that allows individuals to flexibly adapt to a dynamic, uncertain environment. It involves creativity, innovativeness, and risk-taking necessary for adjustment, creating new values, and utilizing new opportunities. Why not try envisioning it using a vision board to focus?

Explore Venture Financing Options

Familiarize yourself with different venture financing options, such as venture capital, angel capital, and innovative financing techniques. Understand the requirements and processes involved in securing funding for your business.⁶

Leverage Technology and Data

Utilize technology and data to gain insights and make informed decisions. Consider using sentiment analysis and text data mining techniques to detect indicators of startup business success and identify key factors for your business.⁷

Remember, starting a business requires careful planning, market research, and a strong entrepreneurial mindset. Stay adaptable, seek mentorship and guidance, and continuously learn and evolve as you navigate the dynamic business landscape.

Starting a Business in 31 Steps

Step 1: Do Your Homework

Starting a business should be based on fulfilling a need. So conduct market research on your business idea. Find out what products or services are in demand and which ones aren’t.

Visit local stores to see how your competition is doing, read reviews on Google Maps for feedback from other customers, and do some research online using sites like Amazon and Yelp. You’ll be surprised at the amount of information that’s available!

Step 2: Find An Idea People Need

You can’t sell something that nobody wants to buy. So, by starting a business with a product or service that solves people’s problems, they are willing to pay for it.

An idea is to reach out to focus groups or people you know and ask them what problems they have. Once the idea is validated, move on to step three!

Step 3: Narrow it Down (To a Business)

Starting a business will require more research and some thinking outside the box. Does your product or service fit into an existing industry? If not, can you tweak it so it does? You’ve got to be realistic. If you can’t fit it into an existing industry, then how will your customers know where to look for what you’re offering? And if they don’t, nobody wins!

Step 4: Decide on Your Niche

Making that decision is very important because it will determine whether or not starting a business is successful. It’s good not to choose a niche that is too narrow, but it’s also important not to make the mistake of choosing something too broad.

For example, you can’t sell “clothing” because there are many different types of clothing out there, each catering to specific customers (e.g., designer jeans vs. high street jeans). You can’t sell “cars”, because there are thousands of different cars that vary in price, brand, etc.

A niche is much better when it comes to choosing something specific; for example, you could choose the niche “fashionable jeans” or “popular brands”. That way, your target market will be more clearly defined, and you will be able to better reach them.

For instance, when starting a business such as a coffee shop, don’t try to compete with Starbucks!

You’ll need to find something unique about what you offer customers in order for them to come back again and again. So make sure that whatever company idea and niche you choose, it is unique and stands out from the rest.

Step 5: Map Out The Competition

Making sure you know what your competition is doing will help you better understand how to stand out from them.

For example, if the top companies in your industry are using social media for marketing, then it would be a smart idea for your company to do so too, even if the thought of it makes you uncomfortable! Be where they are and avoid falling behind in the game.

Step 6: Starting a business? Get an industry mentor

Starting a business but having no idea where to begin? It might be wise for you to get some help from someone who has been there before. A mentor could prove invaluable if they are willing to share their knowledge and experience with you. If you don’t know someone directly, you can find a mentor in your industry through a networking group or online.

Step 7: Get Comfortable With Risk!

Starting a business is always going to have an element of risk, but that doesn’t mean you should be discouraged from doing what you love. In fact, there are many benefits that come with taking the plunge and giving it a go!

Step 8: Write a ‘Starting a Business’ Plan

It’s important to write one, even if it isn’t complete yet. It will help you organize your thoughts and get organized before the big move!

Writing a business plan is not an easy task; there are many things that need to be considered in order for it to be executed successfully (e.g market research, financial projections, etc.) but it’s not an impossible task.

There are many resources available on the internet that can help you write a great starting a business plan – some of them even for free (e.g from the Prince’s Trust).

But generally, for a comprehensive business plan when starting a business, you’ll need to include:

An executive summary states what your company does, why it exists, and who is the target market for this business.
A mission statement is about how you will conduct yourself in terms of customer service, etc.
A description of your products or services, with estimated costs per product or service (costs to produce, wholesale cost, and retail price), and expected profit margins
A summary of the industry, including current trends and challenges that need to be considered in order for your business to succeed
Financial projections (e.g., revenue and costs): this is an important part as it will help you understand whether or not starting a company is something you can afford at this moment in time, what revenues you can expect, and what your costs will be.
A market analysis: Here, you’ll need to research how much demand there is for the products and services that you’re offering in order for people to buy them from a brand new business like yours. You’ll also want to find out whether or not this product or service is something that is already being offered by your competition.
Personnel: This section will need to include staff roles, salary information, and how you’ll recruit the best talent in order for your business to succeed.

What are your start-up costs, and what resources will you need to do great business?

Marketing strategies: The best way to market a product or service will depend on the audience you’re targeting and what makes them want to buy from you! When starting a business, you’ll need to research it in order to be successful.

Finally, if possible, find out how much these marketing strategies cost.

When starting a business, you’ll need to research this in order for it to be successful. And finally, if possible, find out how much these marketing strategies cost.

Step 8: Come Up With The Right Business Name

It’s important to find a business name that will stand out from the competition, and it should be memorable, unique, and not already in use by someone else.

To check if your chosen business name is available (and trademarked), you can search online at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Canada Intellectual Property Office, or the Australian Trade Mark Office.

If you find that your business name is already being used by someone else, don’t panic! Simply choose another one.

There are name generator websites out there that can help you find a business name, but here are some guidelines to keep in mind when it comes to choosing the right one:

Don’t use words that will be difficult for people outside your country to speak or read.
Your business name should fit with what your brand stands for and the image you want it to portray (e.g., a hip, fun brand name for a coffee shop).
Your business name should be memorable and not too long.
It should also be unique enough so that it won’t get lost in the sea of other businesses online or offline (e.g., your competition).

Step 9: Determine your legal business structure

There are many different ways to structure a business. There can be different tax implications depending on which business entity model you choose and how much personal liability you are comfortable with. There are different requirements depending on the country in which your business operates.

Sole Proprietorship: This is where you are the sole owner of a company and it’s not registered with the government (i.e., no separate legal entity).
Partnership: Here, two or more individuals join together to run a single business; they’re responsible for its debts and its profits.
Limited Company: This is where a legal company (separate from the owners) has been formed and it’s registered with the government.
Cooperative: Here, people cooperate together to meet common needs and aspirations; they’re jointly responsible for its debts and share profits between members according to their membership contribution(s).
Not-for-profit: This is where a group of people or organization pursues common goals and objectives, but they’re not run to make money for individuals.

Step 10: Get the right insurance coverage

Insurance can seem like an unnecessary expense at first, but it’s crucial for protecting your business against risks and liabilities.

Your business may be required to purchase insurance depending on its legal structure (e.g., sole proprietorship’s are not usually obligated).

You’ll need to consult with a professional or industry expert in order to understand what types of coverage you should have based on the nature of your business.

Some examples of insurance you might need when starting a business are:

Public Liability Insurance: to protect your business against any accident or injury that may occur on its premises, e.g., if a customer trips over something in the store and gets injured (e.g., a broken leg).
Product/Goods Insurance: This protects your products and goods from damage and theft.
Employer’s Liability Insurance: This protects your business against any accident or injury that may occur to an employee while they’re at work (e.g., if a cashier accidentally drops a crate of drinks, which then breaks open, spilling the contents).
Business Contents Insurance covers property damages such as damage to your building, equipment, and stock.
Professional Indemnity Insurance: This protects you if a client makes any claim against your business (e.g., for faulty advice or poor service).

Step 11: Register the correct licenses and permits

Depending on what kind of business structure you choose, where it’s located and in which country/state it operates, you may need to obtain licenses and permits. You are responsible for following state-level requirements for taxes and following the correct operating agreement.

They’re usually issued by the government directly or through local authorities (e.g City Council). Check out the IRS website and State’s website for advice and guidance.

Some examples of these are:

Business Licenses are Needed for legal businesses, e.g. sole proprietorships, partnerships, etc.
Occupational Licenses are Needed to legally practice certain professions, e.g. being a doctor or dentist
Trade Licenses are Needed for businesses that sell goods on the premises where they’re made, such as retail stores and food markets
Professional Association Membership: A professional membership is required by some industries in order to be able to work within them (e.g. the medical industry)
Zoning Permits – Needed for businesses operating in specific locations (e.g where there is a certain amount of space required, or it’s near an area that requires special permits).

Step 12: Set up your business bank account

When starting a business you’ll need to set up a separate business bank account to manage cash flow with its own tax reference number (i.e business bank account) to avoid any personal income tax liability.

You’ll need to set up a separate credit card for your business expenses; it’s accepted in all kinds of businesses including restaurants, bars and hotels.

Step 13: Open lines of communication with suppliers and customers

It’s good practice to keep the lines of communication open with your suppliers and customers so you can maintain good relationships.

It’s crucial to listen when someone has a complaint or suggestion; they might be able to help improve what you do in terms of business operations, products and services.

Step 14: Make sure there is adequate space for storage/operations

If you’re unable to find an appropriate business space; it’s a good idea to look into storage and warehousing options.

When you have a physical store, make sure there’s enough room to display your products and for customers to move around freely.

Step 15: Make sure there is sufficient space for employees

Ensure that your workforce has enough room, as different states/countries have their own health and safety laws (e.g the UK has the ‘Health and Safety at Work Act’).

Ensure there is enough space around employees to move freely. If you’re an employer then it’s good practice to contact your local authority for advice on health, safety and fire procedures (e.g if warehouses have sprinkler systems).

In the Post-Pandemic world there are set regulations and guidelines for social distancing and the use of protective equipment when starting a business. Make sure to check your local laws as these may vary.

Step 16: Get professional help with financial and legal matters

Around 37% of startups fail due to a lack of capital or profitability.⁸

When it comes to the financial and legal issues that may arise with your business, you should seek professional help e.g from accountants or solicitors for tax advice, payroll management etc.

Step 17: Pay taxes

When starting a business you’ll need an accountant if you decide not pay your business tax through your personal bank account, as it’s required every quarter or month depending on what kind of business you have.

You’ll need to pay a percentage of your profits in income tax if your business makes a profit, even when it’s not been paid out as dividends (i.e reinvested).

Step 18: Starting a business website

It’s a good idea to have a website for your business so you can promote it online and show customers what kind of services/products you offer.

When starting a business your first step is to register your domain name and launch your web address. It’s very easy to set up a website nowadays, there are numerous online resources that help you create your own. You don’t need to know how to code and many providers offer drag & drop website builders.

You can also add a blog to your website so visitors can get an idea of what you do and how they benefit from it.

As you grow, you could look into getting a web designer/developer for your website, they’ll be able to further help promote it and manage your SEO.

Step 19: Market yourself online and offline

It’s important that you market your business both online (social media) and off line (print ads) because not everyone is online or uses social media.

You can also use your website to help promote what you do offline (e.g if you run a store, then customers could see all the products that are available).

Step 20: Create key policies

You’ll need to create key policies for your business e.g health and safety at work policy, equal opportunities policy, data protection policy etc.

To be able to do this; your business will need to have a governing document which you can get from your local authority.

Having these policies in place not only benefits the company, but it also shows customers and suppliers that you’re serious about what you do.

Step 21: Get Ready To Grow

Step 23: Set Yourself Apart From Your Competition

Where does your competition like to hang out? Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook page etc.

What can you offer that they don’t? Give examples of this and be specific. You may think of hiring a social media manager to help with this.

Step 25: See business support locally

There are a lot of different types of business support available depending on where you live – from government grants to free advice!

It’s important that if you’re planning to start up soon, then don’t wait till it’s too late and try your best to find some kind of relevant help.

Step 26: Create a business card and get networking!

If you go networking events then always take business cards with you in case people want contact information for whatever reason!
