Small Business Planning for 2011

Some of the best small business planning tips come from SCORE.  If you are like many people today who have lost their corporate jobs, you might be starting a new small business.  Here are some of the best tips for planning:

Take the time to define your business idea.

Be able to talk about your business in an elevator pitch. (3 minutes.)

Write down your mission statement.

Think about what your motives are, and be sure you have a passion for owning your company.

Commit to the frustrations,  time, education and that you may encounter.

Learn about your competitors - their products, service, distribution methods, pricing, and advertising.

Think about any outside influences that could affect your new business.

Always reserve small business factoring as a standby method of maintaining your business:  paying employees, bills, suppliers, and production or manufacturing costs. Seek a factoring company like ACD Financial Services to talk with about how invoice factoring can help keep your business on track.
