Starting your own business – there is an easier way!


You have a great idea for a business and you feel ready to take the plunge but there are many things that are stopping you. There are all kinds of barriers to getting your business off the ground. For many budding entrepreneurs, and for many, it can seem a complex and confusing time.


Tasks that seem simple at first, soon become more complicated - you have to get a logo and image designed, build a website, get on social media, develop your brand, design and print business cards and leaflets, put yourself ‘out there’, go door to door, be on the phone… the list is never ending. In amongst all this, you may start to win work or sell products and these initial sales start to take up all of your time.

Just like any other career, when you start you own business, it can be all too easy to become side-tracked and lose focus of where you want to go, or worse fail to take the plunge at all and let your idea and entrepreneurial spirit die away.

But what if there was help, advice and support rolled up in one great package? The early weeks and months of your business start up could fly by – and you could have an incredibly successful business on your hands before you know it. We’ll let you into a secret – it IS possible to start a thriving business without fear of taking on too much, and here’s how:

So much to do, so little time

Launching your new business can mean many tasks need to be completed beforehand and the time taken doing so needs to be the shortest time possible between floating your idea and selling your first product or service to a customer. Bringing in the first bit of money is important but making sure you get the basics rights in the first instance means not having to re-do them a few months down the line.

Website design

Any new business is encouraged to get online as soon as possible, but this can mean that you may design your own or opt for a ‘too-good-to-be-true’ website design price. Designing your own may seem like a great idea – it saves you money, right? – but it may mean that some of the more technically advanced stuff, like search engine optimisation (SEO), keywords and so on, fall by the wayside. Essentially, it has to be visible.

Your website also needs to look and feel right as it is essentially the first step in creating your brand. Brand awareness of is how people perceive your business and product, as well as what they feel about the whole process of interacting with your business and buying from you. Get it right and your business will fly! Get it wrong and it may stutter and falter.

Oh yes, and your website needs to be mobile-friendly too…

Social media management

Yes, we know that you are connected to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on every minute of the day but there is a whole world of difference between using social media personally and creating a professional edge for your business.

The world of social media is a crowded place and with a business presence, you want it to reach out to people that you do not know but you know could be potential customers. Do you know how to do that?
