Advantages and Disadvantages of a Start-up Business
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of a start-up business.
Advantages:
- Creativity can play a big part in starting and operating the business.
- There are no predetermined formulas or rules to follow; much less restrictive than a franchise or business opportunity purchase.
- The owner is in control of all aspects of the business, including the location and what the operation is to look like.
- The entrepreneur may draw from previous job experience, skills, and passion in establishing the business.
Disadvantages:
- Start-up businesses are typically more costly and risky since there is no proven formula.
- In order to obtain capital to fund the business, a lengthy detailed business plan must be put together.
- All of the details of starting the business, including licenses, marketing, naming the business, finding product sources, etc. are the responsibility of the owner
Before entering the business world with your new concept you should consider buying an exisiting business that has proven results and an established customer base. There are many sites that list thousands of businesses for sale like BusinessMart.com. You should strongly consider searching for an already established business or an already established system.
If you do decide to start your own business be prepared to wait 12 months to see a profit. If you are in a position to do this, then starting your own business can be very rewarding.

What is a start-up business? A business is considered a start-up if an entrepreneur begins a business based on a unique idea and takes it all the way from the planning stage to actually running the business. The business is usually thought of as still in the start-up stage until it begins to produce sufficient revenue or sales to cover the cost of supplies and operating costs.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
