Checklist For The Startup Business To Avoid Failure

by Promosource Promotional Products Online Products Seller

Being your own boss is one of the mythical fantasy of everyone. Choosing your own clients, your own working hours and the best: your own dress code. Isn’t that sounds like a fantasy? Hell yeah right? But all that can be true if you successfully start your own business. Now, here’s the thing. IF YOU START SUCCESSFULLY!!!


That is the tip-off. You need to get things right first which can be a tedious job if you ask me. Starting your own startup is not a child’s play. It requires ample amount of planning, resource planning, workflow planning, marketing planning and that is not just it. From every basic need to every advance need, like use of promotional merchandise, you must think everything thoroughly before you implements anything in your startup business.


In this post, here is a business checklist that can really help you in avoiding any sorts of failure. So, let’s get you started with this checklist for running a small business.


Ask Yourself, Are You Ready ?

You often read articles that give you tacky ways to start a business with tips like getting your marketing strategies right and blah blah. Yes, you need those things to be right, but before you even start preparing any marketing strategy, ask yourself, Are you an Entrepreneur?


Let’s face this cold-hearted fact that not everyone is an entrepreneur. Some are good executives, some are good strategists, some can imply well and only some can start a business successfully. How do you rate your problem-solving skills with the co-workers?


The point here is if you are an entrepreneur, you will emphasize on giving first before a paycheck. It is as simple as this. Yeah! Not everyone thinks like that.


Are You Good At Keeping The Records ?

Now, you answer the above question as “Yes, I am ready”. Now, what’s next? You need to emphasize on your habit of keeping the records to monitor your business. All the country’s internal revenue service states that if you are launching a business, you need to be good at keeping records.

And honestly, it is also a must. Imagine you driving a car and you have no idea where it is going.


Doesn’t that sound strange? Keeping records will make it easy to monitor the actions you have taken and you will take in the coming future.


Make Sure That You Register Your Business Correctly.

This is the third on this checklist. Why? Because the first two were self-observant points. This one is the first actionable one. Before you open up an office and start working, you need to make sure that you get your business registered no matter which part of the globe you reside.


When you register your company you will be required to define your organization as a correct entity. This comes very handily in the tax season.


Invest In Good Quality Gadgets For Your Office

This particular item in the checklist is also emphasized by Marisa Sanfilippo in HuffPost. You must get a good phone apart from owning a tacky smartphone. Call drops in a business are highly unlike. Also, you need to invest in high performing computers. Nowadays, computers are common in an office so give your employees fast performing computers and increase your productivity.


You also need to invest in high performing printers if your business niche requires it. Tacky gadgets are very enticing and you need to take an action to procure them to increase your productivity.


Make Sure That You have Enough Funds

I mentioned it in last but it is one of the most important factors that can affect your entire startup business. The flow of funds is a necessity and you need to make sure that you have ample of it. Generally, people opt for their savings account, credit, and home equity loans.


You can also go for third party investment and mass funding. You can get them by hiring the right banker. He can increase your resource networking and get you connected with the funders. You can also arrange a fundraiser if you are associated with a non-profit startup.

Winding Up

So, make sure that you checked all the items on the list before you make a dive into the deeper ocean of business. There are millions of startups (And I mean it literally). With such amount of competition, you need to be prepared for every fallout. With these tips you also want to get hold of some promotional items that can help you in increasing your brand recognition.
