Free Consultation
Do you need help to start a business and you are located in Poughkeepsie, NY? Pro Enterprise Consulting can help you start your business here in Poughkeepsie with sound planning and business objectives that are attainable.
Congratulations on making the decision to start a business. Most efforts to start a business end in failure, that’s the kind of news that should remind you to get the help of a consultant to assist in not wasting your time and money and improving your odds. While every business has its own set of problems and unique concerns, surprisingly enough there is a advantageous process that applies to any business industry:
1.Writing a business plan
2. testing your plan
3. raising capital
4.choosing a legal structure
5.in house versus outsourced business functions.
The Business Plan
Writing a business plan is absolutely vital to the existence of your company; the task however, may seem like a bit of a chore. If you’re trying to make a pitch to investors or lenders then the plan will be a bit lengthy and will cover:
1.Overview of the business
2.Industry background
3.The product/service
4.The business model
5.The strategy
6.The team
The process allows you to more readily recognize the opportunities and risk associated with your line of work.
Testing your Plan
Once you’re satisfied with your business plan, the next step is to test it. You need to know what your customers really want to buy and how you intend on selling it. There is software solutions out there that allow you to search businesses either locally or nationally, I believe this is the easiest way to search for competition. Another idea is to talk to potential customers (I would avoid friends and family), there are plenty of free lists online.
Raising Capital
Most business plans are constructed and intended for the sole purpose of raising capital. Investors are usually conservative and like to see financial analysis and projections; such a feat could take as long as six months to accomplish. In the meantime building credit card debt, borrowing against your home, and taking up some extra projects are all temporary solutions before you meet with an investor.
Choosing a Legal Structure
Sole Proprietorship: You are the sole owner. This may be the easiest to file, but now you have unlimited liability if your company ever got sue or your company was in a lot of debt. You cannot protect your personal assets and income will be taxed on your personal tax return.
Partnership: there is more than one owner. Some of the disadvantages involved with this included: unlimited liability, partners sharing all of the profits, and the life of the business is limited.
Limited Liability Company (LLC): this is a hybrid form of the partnership, it is gaining in popularity because it allows owners to take advantage of the benefits of both the corporation and partnership forms of business. Owners are shielded from personal liability and the profits/losses are passed through to the owner without taxation of the business itself.
S-Corporation:
This is a good idea if you’re interested in forming a corporation, but choose not to because of the double taxation. The IRS taxes this type of corporation as a partnership rather than a corporation. There are limits to filing this status they include: the number of type of shareholders in the business, the corporation’s source of revenues, and the stock that is issued.
In House versus Outsourced Business Functions
Subcontracting services to a third party may be a good idea if you’re just starting out and you don’t have a lot of office space to keep your in house resources. Outsourcing a great way to make more efficient use of labor and reduce workload in a given area so that more energy could be focused in other areas such as product creation and marketing. Entrepreneurs usually take on tasks that they don’t specialize in to save money. What ends up happening is they spend the whole day doing something that someone with the right knowledge could have done in a matter of hours. At the end of the day, you need to identify what you’re good at and where your time is best well spent and then outsource the tasks you are not so good at to a professional. Contact Pro Enterprise Consulting today to see how subcontracting services to a third party can improve your bottom line.
