Starting your own business!

Within our industry we connect with many clients who are looking at starting their own business, but that's as far as it goes. They know they want to market it but how? and what else do they need to know? 


The top 5 fundamentals every business start-up should be doing:

1. Research your market - identify potential customers. Talk to them and find out if your idea is meeting a real need.
   
2. Develop and plan - test your product or service with real customers, make changes, and test it again. Keep doing this until you’re sure there’s a demand for it.
   
3. Find partners and suppliers - think about who you’re going to work with to develop and sell your idea.
   
4. Set up your business - work out which legal structure is right for you, and register for tax.
   
5. Get funding - explore different sources of business finance, from bank loans to government-backed schemes.

   Without these fundamentals you don't have any foundations to work on. Once all is set in place, we come into play.
   Branding is incredibly important when you're a new business as you don't have any real clientele to 'blow your trumpet' about the services you offer, and the quality of services. You need to make yourself known. This could be through doing a range of things:
   
   
   
   • Introducing yourselves to local business/ local communities through direct mail
      
   • Using the power of digital to market yourself, whether this be with social media, an online selling platform like eBay/ Etsy/ Amazon, or to build an eCommerce website and rely on SEO and Google PPC to carry you up the rankings 
   • Having a strong presence in the market. What is your product in demand, how are you going to push past your competitors and generate leads?
