Find your WHY

Get clear on your why first, then focus on the other elements of your business. It’s so important to establish this before moving onto to any other part of your business. Ask yourself these questions to get started:

• Why do you want to start a business?
• Is this something you really want to do?
• What is your motivation behind starting a business?

Mind map

Creating a mind map is a good way to highlight important concepts and the general structure of your business idea. Mind maps help you to become creative, make sense of thoughts, and find solutions to problems. You can make a mind map on websites such as Miro or the old-fashioned pen and paper method.

Organise and clarify your business concept

After making a mind map, take some time to organise and thoroughly clarify your company idea. To accomplish this, you must be clear about your why, the problem you solve, your goals, and your intended course of action.

Create a business plan

For your business, you must have a business strategy. When drafting your business plan, you should concentrate on the measures that will ensure your company’s success. You should also include your long- and short-term goals. Click here for assistance with business plan creation.

• WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, or any other platform that works best for you, can be used to create a website. The most well-known platform in the world is WordPress.
• Create a Companies House account for your business
• Think about trademarking your company name

Identify your target market or audience

You may create a tone of voice that communicates directly to your customers by defining your target audience. You can conduct campaigns far more effectively if you know exactly who you are targeting by establishing your target audience. Your target audience can be determined through market segmentation, which includes demographic, psychographic, behavioural, and geographic factors.

• Asking for a loan from family or friends
• Peer-to-peer loans
• Looking for angel investments
• Crowdfunding
• Obtaining an overdraft or business loan
