Finding a Business 102

By: Beau Graves

If  you decide that a franchise Is not something that you want to do, and that you want to be the pioneer, in a new company, that you could potentially franchise out later, then here are the tips for you:

• Go to http://entrepreneur.com and look through the Business ideas, they have a ton of ideas for different industries there.
• Research the ideas and look at other companies in your area that might have the same or similar services.
• Make sure that you have gotten the proper training in the service that you are providing, whether that is getting a job for a little while and learning that way, or finding a good partner to bring into the company that has the experience that you need.
• Make sure that you do the research on the internet for the different things in your industry, and try and find the good and bad points of the industry and its market.

Here a few things that you definitely need to make sure that you are doing before you open up either a franchise, or a brand new company to the market.

• You need to make sure that you select a good location for the company.
• Research other companies in the area to see how long they have been in business and how they are doing.
• Look at the demographics of the area, to make sure that the business you are doing is targeting the proper market.
• Research the revenue opportunities of any business, if you not going to make money there is no sense in trying to open it.
• Make sure that you have a balanced company, and you have the skill set to make the company successful.

Some of the things that I have gone over in this have been very basic, but are things that can be very easily overlooked, when trying to get a business up and going. I know that it can get very exciting to get started and get going, but the proper research, and the proper knowledge and structure, can make it a lot smoother ride in the future.
