Starting a small business in australia is exciting for whatever community you are in and for australia as a whole. This country wants small businesses to flourish as they can grow our economy and also employ more Australians. If you are just starting out as an entrepreneur, then we say a big congratulations to you! Even the fact that you are doing your research and reading up on what you should be doing as a small business owner is a great sign. The planning stages before your business actually takes off are crucial for your overall success.

No matter what, as an entrepreneur you are going to face both positive times and difficult times. Every single successful business owner has been where you are now and has also failed numerous times. It is through failure that we grow as entrepreneurs and are pushed towards success. Below are listed 7 Pointers when starting your business, in order to help you during these initial stages.

1. A Name Is Very Important

Request More Information

The name of your small business is so important. Great names are strong, stay in people’s heads, and also will support your entire company’s mission. Take the time to truly feel confident about a name and don’t automatically go with the first one you thought of.

2. You Can’t Do It All Yourself

This is one of the most important points on this list. Entrepreneurs, especially starting out, want to do everything for their business as they don’t want their vision being tampered with. This is understandable, but foolish. Come to terms that there are people more talented at certain things than you and collaboration is so important, especially when starting out. The more you turn your business into a team, the more things you will get done at a professional level.

3. Apply For Funding or Financing

In the first few years of your business, you will be lucky if you just break even. This is why you need to raise enough capital for your company. Check out our Funding Database that features over 1500 funding resources across australia that you may be eligible for. This will help keep your operations going even when times are tough.

4. Have A Plan In Place

A Business Plan is going to be the backbone of your entire company. Have a plan and follow it. Let it influence all of your decisions. You also need a plan to apply for any funding or financing, so it is integral to have one in place.
5. Hire People You Trust

Especially when starting out, surround yourself with a positive team that helps you when you need it most.

6. Constantly Do Research

Read up on what other companies are doing and read books from entrepreneurs you admire. We offer a lot of tools especially for new entrepreneurs who have questions.

7. KEEP GOING

This is the last point and very important. Even when times are tough, stay strong and keep going, as success is right around the corner.
