Knowing the business sector
It would be much easier for you to be able to know the sector, you are venturing into and much more advantageous if you are setting up your business in a field where you already have experience as this would make it easier for you to have contacts.
This would help you find the right staffs where you can trust the people you know- people who tend to know what they are doing might work harder for someone they know and you would have to spend much money finding them. Knowing suppliers and customer too is another advantage.

Business plans
One might wonder why he has to bother about business plans. Well he, who fails to plan, plans to fail. One needs to write out his or her business plans. For instance an entrepreneur already knows what he wants to deal with; he could start by making plans on what it would take to set up, who would run the business, how much income he would need to generate. Answering these questions is crucial if the business is to stand a chance of starting off the ground.
So the first step is to write a business plan.
The importance of writing a business plan in a document is to help clarify one’s thought. It is important to put them down then discuss them with a professional. Putting them down in a paper helps you to reason logically, it also helps you sell your products to your customers in an organized way.
Who is the plan for?
Your bank manager at some point would want to have a look at it. Especially if you are requesting for a loan, investors too would be interested and would also want a copy. You could also show it to friends for their honest opinions. As several minds are always important than one.
Once you have started you need to go back and read up on your business plan to be sure that you are following up and if there is need for improvement you can add up on it.
How big should the plan be?
This should be between five to ten A4 pages and it should be detailed having all your ideas in it well enough to get the bank to give you that loan
The structure of the business plan is always
contents
executive summary
the market
the product or service, including unique service plan
competition
barriers to entry
management team
SWOT analysis
Financial projections
Funding requirements
Exit strategy
Appendices

Business identity
One must choose a good name for the business; he or she must make sure that nobody is using the name; he or she could register with the corporate affairs commission. He or she must also go on further to create a business logo, and also business stationary to have the feel of the business. Then go on further to tag the brand.

Recruitment of staffs
To hire the right set of people, there is need to watch out for certain characteristics such as:
Attitude
Experience
References
Induction and training
Marketing your business
At this point one must focus on reaching customers, investors and the bank.
What he or she wants to sell
What to tell potential customers and investors

At this point different mediums such as leaflets, posters, vehicles, premises signage, local papers, magazine advertising and Radio broadcasting.
One could also do well to follow up the customers to know their intake on the business it is this feedback that helps an entrepreneur to know what the business really needs to improve.
Promote your business on the internet, an entrepreneur should do well to have a web, a blog so as to be able to communicate with other internets users this also gives him or her wider frontage or avenue to advertise the business.

Many customers might criticize the product, at this point it is advisable for the entrepreneur to take it in god faith and improve on the product instead of getting discouraged and ending the business or turning a deaf ear as this would further increase the longetivity of the business.

Deciding to start alone or with partners
A person may do well to start alone, but the burden of starting the business alone and the risk might be more challenging in terms of pulling the funds and the business dying with the owner. Also on the side of partnership, could cheat the other partner or if it is a couple, the business might end when the couples split.
Either way the business must do well to put it into writing, this is where the services of a lawyer is needed. To have every transaction documented.
In starting a business there are certain goals a person must look out for such as
What do I expect from my business
What other similar businesses are out there to compete with
Franchises
Which is best for me
How much capital do I have



Now one doesn’t have to be the next Richard Branson in order to start, the capital might really be small but he or she needs to have an idea of what he or she wants to do. He or she must set targets, profits shouldn’t be the first agenda, and once a person has set out on what he or she wants to do the lofty ambitions can come in later.

What is business?
Business can be defined as a specific commercial enterprise or establishment. A person’s work, trade and occupation. One’s dealings or patronage.
The desire to start
It feels great for a person to see his or her business card with “managing director” or “proprietor” all of this runs with the glamour of having a business of one’s own. However there must be a desire, as it is the hunger and passion to start a new project that pushes a person to achieve greater result. According to David Lester in his book “Starting your own business” it is easier to start a business than to get out of it. So why not start.
It takes a variety of qualities and skills to start but above all one must have the desire to win, one must be willing to put in all his best to achieve a better result.
What does it take?
Certainly a lot of guts and nerves, one has to be a bit arrogant and a bit naïve. According to David Lester who thinks a person must be both, in the business world one must develop a thick skin. Out there opinion varies and it is this opinion that determines whether an entrepreneur is born or made. To be arrogant is to believe that your idea is more superior or important than others or whatever is out there. Also a person has to be a bit naïve that is willing to learn, as a person cannot know everything there is to know out there.
According to David Lester what would determine a good business is whether the owner could cope with the bad times and come up with ways to get round the obstacles every business faces as it develops. A good business would need determination, courage and often some creative thinking to find ways around problems.
According to David Lester there are different characteristics a person needs to have in order to succeed.
Passion
Every individual interested in business must be passionate and willing to do everything possible to learn things to improve on it. Hence one must be willing to sacrifice and put in a lot of investments.
Smartness
Here a person should be “market trade smart” which is much different from the rocket scientist meaning that a person does not have to be a rocket scientist. All he just needs to be is comfortable with numbers, percentages arithmetic basically, so as to be able to trade properly.
A risk taker
Every person interested in business must be willing to take the risk. As starting your business is more likely risking your livelihood, your money and a person needs to be able to handle the risk without cracking up. Considering the fluctuation of the Nigerian economy a person needs to be stable.
Resilient
This is otherwise known as the bounce back ability; one would need this in times when there are sets backs, rejections and criticisms one would encounter along the way as it is good to remain positive in life.
A self starter
“Wait for no man” if as a person you are used to being told what to do setting up your own business is not for you. As nobody would tell you what to do, it all balls down to you to make and take the decisions.
Energetic
A person needs to be up and ready to go, also ready to take work hard and also work smart.
Multi-Tasker
Such a person must be ready to do everything, especially when he or she doesn’t have extra hands in place. This would mostly apply to founders of businesses. Especially when one is used to do doing things by his or herself. One must learn to keep different issues in mind and set out priorities. To ensure, that everything is done in time to make the business work.

In order to be a successful entrepreneur a person must be of age, so as to be able to contract even though this is not in all cases but for the importance of being capable a person must be of age.

A person must also be experienced. One would ask now about having experience but we mean not just experience to start but the ability to at least know something in line of the business you are dealing with. There is an enormous difference between a customer and a seller and the working experience. Instead of starting straight from school, one must do well to start by working with an experienced person first or carry out a research on that type of business.

Also the importance of education cannot be over emphasized, a person needs to be educated. Even though some people might argue that one does not need to be educated. The fact still remains that there are greater benefits in a person getting a degree than nothing at all. As one would need expertise no matter the business, a person is engaged in.

Ever wondered, where the TGIF (Thank God it’s Friday!) emanated from? Well it came from a world of job dissatisfaction where people just wake up in the morning and go to work only for the pay. Now there is nothing as frustrating as hating the kind of job you do, this is what normal employees would call job dissatisfaction. There is no form of enjoyment, fulfillment and satisfaction. Well one can say there is nothing as satisfying as finding fulfillment in what one does. Hence every individual must find an area that soothes him or her, a good source of income that would bring about fulfillment.
Instead of sitting down frustrated or unfulfilled one can start a little business of one’s own. There are loads of opportunities and the rise in capabilities and the use of the internet is now making it cheaper and easier to start a business anywhere.
The art of running business can be one’s fabulous way of earning a living, as it can be economically satisfying and would give the individual a greater control of one’s destiny. A starting point may not be easy but one must start even though it could be risky because the owner of the business is at loss or a gain more like 50-50 chance rate.
One must do well to be confident when a new business is started. As being the boss of your own business is elating but one must bear in mind that there are challenges which are capable of crumbling ones business but one must do well to start first.
