Starting
a business may be a dream for many and impossible for others. Many people say
that "if they had money" would create their own business, while
others plan to save a year of the money they receive for their jobs, to make
the company go. Although, there are many
ideas that come to mind when you dream of being a great businessman, the truth
is that all these projects are suppressed when you think about money, because
they have the misconception that to start a business, you need to have a good
capital, here's good news.
The main thing is to understand that any idea
can be good and all could become big business. A lifestyle coach and CNN
contributor Financial in Atlanta recommends that "it is crucial for anyone
who is looking to start a business, determine what gifts and talents they
already have and turn them into a real business."
But what to do if in the middle of all
these ideas come to mind the millions who have to invest? Before you think it
must be clear that it takes work, commitment and above all creativity. Some of
the tips that can be used to start a business with little capital are:
Enable
a home office: before thinking about
renting an office or you can try to enable somewhere in the house, although it
is not located in public places. If you use good publicity reach customers.
Patricia Sanchez, owner of a small jewelry business in Caracas, says that the
love of jewelry is a good choice to start a small business and do home
demonstrations.
Create
a website: the website has many options ranging from creating a Facebook
account to create a free blog or a website where you earn money for
advertising.
Focus
on word of mouth: It is essential in any business to reach new customers, Dany
Victoria, specializing in public notice via the web says "It is important
to spread the word to friends, family and co-workers about your new
business."
Moreover Patricia Sanchez, owner of a small
jewelry business in Caracas, says "98% of my business comes from repeat
customers and word of mouth referrals." All these people can be allies of business;
they would be multipliers of the message in the environment.
Make
agreements with other businesses: It is important to seek agreements with
other businesses or suppliers. Patricia Sanchez, owner of a small jewelry
business in Caracas, said that to grow their business tried to partner with
local art galleries, hospitals and shops to sell high-end pieces in his
catalog.
Another effective idea is to swap or barter,
provide services in exchange for providing some input or how to start business
there, for it is not necessary to wait for the business or store owner offered
to rent a small place within it, but can make the offer, offering to pay a rent
to be given the desired space.
Buy at cheap prices:
It is essential not to rush into buying the first equipment or materials that
are, it is important to take time to evaluate and investigate prices in the
market. After finding the perfect place to buy what you want, you should try to
maintain a close relationship with the supplier and the buyer become number
one, maybe this way you could get many other offers.
Seek
funding: If the money you have is not enough, you can try to borrow money
from family, friends or banks that finance small businesses. Do not forget that
"clear accounts remain friends" for this it is essential to develop a
good business plan to prove the good of the project and, at the same time, show
that you can pay the debt promptly.
Remember
that having a business is the most rewarding way to enjoy what you do. Being a good entrepreneur is about learning.
