Business and Financial Services

Archive for April, 2011

“We are a small business but growing fast and should crack at least $1m T/O at the end of this financial year. It seems these days we are always pushing the end of our OD and struggling for cash. Are we doing it wrong? What factors should we look at to see if we are on or off track?”

Well, I don’t know if you are doing it wrong, but the answer is in the next part of the question.This is not a question about finances, insufficient start-up capital, statement cash-flow or growth. It is, beginning and end, about business Plan and Management. Everyone needs to consider this, because while some of you are doing some of it, probably no-one is doing all of it. Growth can be self induced or market induced; it doesn’t matter. If it’s self induced you have a lot more control over it, as against market induced growth which requires some degree of reactive management.

Either way, the end result is determined by the ability to manage,to be good bookkeeper,to be good accounting etc . The question then becomes “manage what?”

Everyone should be using a form of Strategic Planner. Using a strategic planner in conjunction with your budgets and cash-flow projections prevents cash-flow crises because it gives you the ability to plot the implications of sales or cost variations upon the future state of the business.

There is always a scope for growth, improvement and increase. The only possibility is growth- if you know how! my opinion create a Small business is the best, but before  starting with it we have to know strategies , business plan or what business software we gonna use it .
Like the 7 deadly sins, there are seven deadly business growth strategies that can work like “growth serum” for your business:

1.Penetration Pricing: In this strategy you keep your pricing as low as possible (lowest in the market) so that your product/service becomes the obvious choice for the buyer. so in here we need business plan to deal our competitors.

2.Price Skimming: In case of certain luxury products and niche services, a certain level of pricing (high) needs to be maintained to keep a client filter and stipulate a market for yourself.

3.Mass production/Increase outlets: Increasing outlets can help your organization to gain from economies of scale. This means, if you offer more, your cost per unit will be less; hence, more profit.

4.Leverage of Tie-up/Alliance: Tie-ups or mutual understandings with other organizations with related production/services can really help in building and developing more business for both the entities. Like a bakery could tie-up with a restaurant. This would bring better sales for the bakery and reduction in cake production cost for the restaurant, and also can we try business online , hope can increase business growth.

Well , nowdays to start business is not easy, what do you think ?
To start a business, you don’t need financing, a website or business plan. All you need is a customer.
But even when it comes to the all-important task of acquiring those first customers, a new business is usually looking to save as much time and money as possible.

Buying a customer list can be expensive, so most small businesses look to build their own. The best way to do it? Get smart about networking, according to Sheryl Johnson, founder of Pittsburgh-based BD-PRo Marketing Solutions. Here are some of her tips for expanding a contact database.

Have a networking strategy. Know your networking goals, and join groups where you’ll be most likely to connect with the people you most want to meet both online and at in-person events.

Make networking part of your everyday life. Keep your elevator pitch at the ready so that the people you meet know what you do and who you can help. You never know who you’ll bump into or who they might know.

Ask for referrals. After each sale, make it part of your routine to ask for a referral. Other good sources of referrals include employees and email newsletters that can be passed along.
