Lower risk businesses
If you are new in to business, you’ll need to ensure that you’re not diving in feet first, rather dipping your toe in the water with the lowest risk opportunity possible.
There are ways that you can ensure your business is at low risk of failure.
- Choose a sector where your services will be high in demand
Accountancy, cleaning, garden services, repairs and restoration will always be required in the fast-paced environment in which we live in - Low set up costs can ensure all of your financial resource isn’t drained right away
Franchises are a good way at minimising set up costs as much of what is needed is included in the starter pack, and a lot of the hard work has already been done for you, such as creating and establishing a brand. Low set up costs also mean things like being able to work from a home office and no huge outlays in products, equipment or stock - Speed and timing to realise your investment quicker
You’ll need to get your business off of the ground quickly to start realising your investment. A franchise can help you to do this with express, intensive training and a programatic launch. Timing is also important to ensure you get the maximum exposure for your new venture - Locally service based
Service based businesses tend to stand you in a better position to succeed because you are competing locally, not nationally for customers. - Consider what you enjoy and are good at
Your business is more likely to succeed if you are enjoy it and have the skills to operate it. Try to play on your strengths when choosing a business to make failure a very low risk when its down to your efforts
Having considered the above 5 points, you should be in a better position to choose a lower risk business opportunity.
