5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SETTING UP A PERSONAL BUSINESS

The dream of everyone of us today is mainly to own a business of our own. We want to stop answering "yes sir or ma" to anybody and be a boss of our selves.

It's a beautiful dream. Coming back home with loads of money in your pocket after daily transactions, it's quite thrilling and enjoyable!

However, embarking on such journey you need to know some few things. One of this thing is the BUSINESS PLAN.

No need to go into the full details for now, but what you should understand first of all is that there is a need to sit down and consider about the proposed project. The reason is because it will save you a lot of headache. It will make you to know exactly what you want to do, things that are involved, how you want to handle it, and when you need to start.

The business plan can be done by you or a professional. There are many business consultants that you can easily connect to work it out for you. (Dave Digital Prints can also help for one). The important  thing first is to consider the following ISSUES.

1. FINANCE: 

Money is very important in managing a business. You may have a very good idea for a business, but when money is not there to finance it, it becomes a mere dream. So it's important to visualize how much it will cost you to start the business before embarking on it.

2. THE SKILL: 

Skill is something that you have or know about. It could be what you have studied or learned.

The reason for tailoring your business idea along such line is that it gives you the basic understanding of what you are going into. For instance,you cannot be a Pastor and then decide to go and start managing a Mosque without knowing anything about the religion.

3. MANAGEMENT ABILITY: 

Beside having the skills for what you want to do, you also need to have the management ability to run the business. This innate ability allow you to take decisions at every point in time.

4. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: 

The saying that 'ignorance is not an excuse of the law' speak volume when planning for a business of your own. You have to understand some certain rules that guard the business. This is to avoid the unexpected.

5. LOCATION: 

It's important to consider where you want to locate your business. Many good businesses today have collapsed due to bad location. It's not enough to invest huge sum of money on a business and yet people are not easily accessible to it. You need to define where you want to operate and ensure that it suits your business idea.

Having all of these ideas in your mind it will not only prepare you for the takeoff, it will also guide you against any unforseen circumstances.
