Getting Started in Business


		Practical Help to Grow Your Business
Sales and Marketing The Professional Adviser About Us Contact Us Home	Getting Started in Business All too often the realisation that professional business advice is available, and more crucially taking advantage of it, does not occur until after the business actually starts. "I've been to the bank, borrowed as much as they'll lend me, spent it, and now I need help," is not as uncommon as you might think! Advertising salespeople are paid to sell advertising space; printers can only charge you for what they print; and stationers can make more profit from bespoke work like letterheads and compliments slips. Business owners should spend money because they know it's correct to do so, because they already know how they will measure the return and can compare it to their goals. They should not spend money just because someone told them they should! "More money is wasted on inappropriate Marketing than on any other human activity outside of Government," say Al Reis and Jack Trout in their book, The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing. By seeking professional advice, and developing sensible strategies and action plans, you can severely limit the risk of your new business failing and set out on the right road to profit, starting then and there. The advisors might even prevent you starting a business guaranteed to have no hope. Reputable business advisors remember that they were in your position once and will do their utmost to help you, for a fee that represents sensible value for you.
