- $This is important because people can understand the once you start your own business you are an entrepreneur. Simply the combining of ideas, hard work and adjustment to the changing business market. Innovation is the primary factor that governs the very creation of a small business or entrprenurship. Can be anything that introducues the inventions of new products that change the marketplace or create a new marketplace.
- This is important because this can be considered the first step in starting a business. Answering these questions will help go on to step twoWhat is your love and passion: the is very important because you will be doing something that will effect you for the rest of your life. You want to do that something that you enjoy and makes you happy. To make this decision a little easier ask yourself these question: “What am I good?”- am I better at one subject then I am at another“What do I like to do?”- do I like to play sports or play inturtesments?“What are my strengthens and weakness”?- Am I good working with people, computers? Am I leader? Do people listen to me?“Do I experience?” Do I the ins and outs of the business? What kind of business will you open?What type of business will it be?3 types:Sole proprietorship, partnership, and corporation each has its disadvantages and advantages
- This is important in my project because will understand the three types of business and will understand why I decided my business to become a sole proprietorships.Sole Proprietorships- owns and manages the business and is responsible for all business transactions, are fever the 500 employeesAdvantages: easiest to start, complete control, your own bossDisadvantage: all responsibilities and business decisions fall on the shoulders of the sole proprietor, investors usually don’t invest money in sole proprietorships, can be hard to maintianPartnerships- consist of two or more partners who are both responsible for the business. They share assets, profits, liabilities and management responsibilitiesAdvantages: there limited costs, work with someone else, not all the decisions is on youDisadvantages: shared profit, conflict over the direction of business, goals, etc, Corporation- a legal entity or structure created under the authority of a state’s laws, consisting of group of people who become shareholders. Existence is considered separateAdvantage: make a bigger profit, attract investors Disadvantage: are harder to start, more money to start, take a long time to become a corporation
- $ Sole proprietorship business are important in America. They make up the Marjory of business in the United States The graph show how many small business were started since 2004. Once again there are very easy to start but the main idea that is very hard to maintain. This is why planning is important and know what you like to do is important to understand.
- This is important information to be included in my project because people must understand what your business is going to do.A service:is a business which sells services directly to consumers or other business, it doesn’t always have to be a product. For example a teacher is a service. They are providing students with information. Starting a service business can be less costly than starting up a business which make and sells products Running a service business is also appealing to many people who are interested in working independently.
- This is important in my project because must understand what the advantage of a service. Once they know the advatage they will better understand why I decided to start company based on service.Capitalize your skills- don’t worry if you lack business skills or experience. Things like management, personal-contact-selling, negotiating and so on can be learn over time. The question you must ask “What skill9s0 do you have that can be sold as a service?” doing something that your are great at makes your product that much better.Selling part time- enable you to eliminate risk by limiting your financial investment. Allows you to test the water to sure a businessman is something that you enjoy and want to do.. Keeping income rolling in, taking advantage of current health and employee benefits and building your business over a longer period of time. Creates a more stable foundation for your business.Full time- MUST develop a business and marketing plan, very risky because if you decide to do it but then switch idea you leave your employess at risk of losing your job, a lot of responsibility, make more money and gain control of your furtureSelling Seasonally- can be operated with a full-or-part time effort. Must are normally run full time to maximize reveunes and profits over a normally short time period.
- It is important because people must understand that they have to answer these question before they start thinking of starting a business. It can be risky but people must be confident. Answering these questions can help them.Were will the startup money come from?- In order to start a business you need money to start. There are three ways to finance star-up cost :use your own money, obtain a loan, or investors. It is better to start off small and use your savings but most people get a bank loan and pay it off through out the yearsDoes it fit a need in your area? In order to make profit you need to separate yourself from other business in the area. If your business is very similar to another will be difficult to attract clients. You have to make your business stand out.
- $Performance- Knows what their opponent companies are doing and effects their success. Selling the same product, their performance determines their success.Head to head- beats the opponent in performance but also take actions to try to prevent the opponent from making salesPredatory- complete control or monopolies in the marketplace, effort to drive smaller companies out of business or even simply purchase them, to take them out of competition
- People must understand these three things because a business can not happen with these three things.Location (where is your business located): is/are natural resources not created by humansCapital: is the tools, products, tools, building, money etc. needed to produce Labor (employees): is/are people with all their abilities efforts, and skills
- $S - is for SpecificBe really clear about what it is you wantM - is for MeasurableThere must be some sort of number of other measurable description of your goalA - is for ActionableYou have to have some verb in the goal - you have to DO something! The goals wouldn’t get done if you don’t do anythingR - is for RealisticMake your goal achievable, but don't be frightened to make it bigT - is for TimeboundAll of your great goals will fall by the wayside if you have no when about them - the 'maybe I'll start next week method'.
- $ Profit is what keeps the business keep going. People must understand to calculate it and then once they do, they must understand how to improve it.Revenue-The amount of money that a company actually receives during a specific period, including discounts and deductions for returned merchandise. It is the "top line" or "gross income" figure from which costs are subtracted to determine net income. Money that you make.Business expenses are the cost of carrying on a trade or business. These expenses are usually deductible if the business is operated to make a profit. Money that is taken out.# Existing - Lost Customers + New Customers Gained = Total Customersx Frequency x Average $ = Gross Revenues - Cost of Goods - Overhead = Net Profit
- This is important in my project because is explaines how a business is made and how they make money. People will get a better understanding if they look at it in a chart form.Production-Is the creation of something that hold value to othersGoods-Things that you can hold, that are useful and satisfy a need or wantBoth consumer and capitalConsumer goods-are goods that are intended for the individuals final useCapital goods-are goods that are used to produce other good/servicesGoods are also classified as durable and non-durableDurable goods last more then three yearsNon-durable goods last less then three yearsService-Work that is performed for an individual or group of individualsThis how a business becomes a business. Once you have land, capital, and labor you are then able to start production. Once you done with production your are then it becaomes a good or service. You set a price on that good and service and sell to your costumers. You always want to make your price higher then then amount it took you to make it because the goal is to make a profit!!!Profit is the money you have made

- The money that you have saved from the bank. It is very unlikely that you can only use that money. You would probably need a bank loan to help you get started.Bankers are concerned about having their repaid. Bankers want to be assured of a company ability ti keep up a loan repayment schedule. Emphasis should be cash flow- past, present, and future. Having a past record of cast generation will be big because it will convince the bank that you are able to pay back the loan.After cash flow bankers look for tangible assets that can be sold to repay the loan in cash flow sours.Investors- are more interested in factors that can help predict growth. Growth is essential for them to get an attractive return on their investments.Factors include- market likely future, the management team’s experience, evidence of fast-growing sales, want to see a conciseplanThat is why is is difficult for small business to convince investors because smaller business are difficult to grow at first and take more time. Experience could be limited meaning someone could be starting there own business with no experience at all and it is difficult to convince the best employees to work at a business that just started.
- $Character- means more than not having a criminal record. It means that the banker feels confident that you are not going to suddenly disappear for parts unknown if the business runs into trouble. Specifically bankers like to see ties to the community such as long residence, family ties, and home ownership. Personal impression you make on the potential lenderA clean credit history is important. A couple late credit card payments shouldn't be a factor, but missing mortgage payments for three months in a row will require a good explanation. Captail is the money you personally have invested in the business. Prospective lenders and investors will expect you to contribute your own assets and to undertake personal financial risk to establish the business before asking them to commit any funding.they live for solid collateral. Equipment, buildings and trucks--that's the kind of stuff that bankers really like for collateral--solid value and likely to be worth a lot even if the business goes bust. Inventory, raw material and goods are second choices for collateral--they will lose their value more quickly than fixed assets but still be worth something. guarantees are additional forms of security you can provide the lender. If the business cannot repay its loan, the bank wants to know there is a second source of repayment.Capacity-The prospective lender will want to know exactly how you intend to repay the loan. The lender will consider the cash flow from the business, the timing of the repayment, and the probability of successful repayment of the loan.
- $ balance sheet is probably the first thing your loan officer will turn to. The balance sheet records your assets liabilities and capitalthey'll look very carefully at the profit or loss and the cash flow, which should be very closely related to the balance sheet and to each other.or both startups and existing companies, loan officers are going to expect realistic monthly cash flow for the next 12 months.That comes first in the descriptions of the backgrounds of the management team but also shows up in information about the business model, company history, locations, products and services, and strategy. Good bankers process a plan looking for evidence of success. They don't want to be part of failure, even if their banks' assets are protected by collateral.
- $ Personal Financial Satement: Your lender will obtain your personal credit report as part of the application process. However, you should obtain a credit report from all three major consumer credit rating agencies before submitting a loan application to the lender. Inaccuracies and blemishes on your credit report can hurt your chances of getting a loan approved. It’s critical you try to clear these up before beginning the application process.Application for business loan:Forms vary by program and lending institution, but they all ask for the same information. Why are you applying for this loan?How will the loan proceeds be used?What assets need to be purchased, and who are your suppliers?What other business debt do you have, and who are your creditors?Who are the members of your management team?
- $ Once you are approved from the bank for your business plan…you can start using there money to make your business happen.

- Bad planning- not making a business plan, is your guide to limiting your mistakes. If your don’t make one your chances of failing has increased greatly.

It is your blue print, step by step guide and if you don’t do it or you mess up your numbers your business will not succeed.Factors:Bad Marketing- customers can buy your products if they don’t know you’re there.
