HOW DO I FINANCE MY BUSINESS?
You have a great idea for your business and you have found the best place to locate it. You know who will buy your product or service and you know who your competitors are. But starting and running your business is going to take cash, possibly a lot of cash.
How much money do you need?
If you do not know exactly how much money you need, then no-one is going to lend anything to you. And nor should they, because it means that you have not thought through your business plan properly. Without enough working capital, your business' vital functions will fail. It won't be able to meet its daily requirements for living, such as purchasing supplies, paying rent, and paying salaries. The Business Plan includes a section about Financial Matters. Within this section, you will tabulate financial data and projections related to your business. Based on the estimated projections contained within your Business Plan, you will be able to determine how much money you will need, both to start your business, and to keep it humming.
Sources for your business
Personal sources include: savings accounts, insurance policies, stock and other investments, second mortgages, and donations from friends and relatives. Note: You will probably need to provide at least 20% of what you need from personal funds if the needed funds are coming from a bank.
Remaining sources for business
1) Debt. Debt is a loan made to you or your business. Sources of debt lending include banks, credit unions, federal lending programs and state financing programs.
2). Equity. Equity is ownership rights and privileges in your business that you give away in return for capital. Businesses seeking this type of financing must become a Partnership, Corporation or Limited Liability Company.
3) Alternative Funding. Alternative means of funding include: suppliers who provide concessions, such as extended payment periods and discounts; and grants.
*note: Grants, for the most part are only available for non-profit organizations.
HOW TO RAISE FUNDS TO START NEW BUSINESS
Starting a business and one of the aspects that entrepreneurs find most daunting is raising start-up capital. Launching a new business requires much skill and preparation. Entrepreneurs may not have the resources to raise capital in order to market their new business ideas. Before a new business owner can raise capital for their startup, they must first identify the different sources of funding, find one that is most compatible with their needs, and then meet the given criteria of the investor or bank. These crucial steps can mean the difference between having the opportunity to successfully raise capital and leaving their new business ideas behind.
The internet has become the fastest and most efficient means by which a new business owner can perform market research and find out ways to raise capital. One important website to visit is the Small Business Administration (SBA) (www.SBA.gov), which can provide the necessary facts and resources needed for starting their new business. new business owners can also visit the public library or read through the local newspaper to find out more information on how to raise capital. The prospective business owner can also speak to successful entrepreneurs who have experience in the field.
Money can be obtained from personal checking and savings accounts, credit cards, and retirement accounts. In addition, equity can be collected from the sale of real estate properties, vehicles, recreational equipment, and even rare collectables. In fact, some wealthy entrepreneurs can choose to raise capital for their new business using their own personal funding. On the other hand, many new business owners may opt to utilize a combination of different sources to raise capital.
Other than self-financing, family members and friends can provide an additional means to raise capital for a new business. Many of these loans can be made available rather quickly because these families and associates know the entrepreneur personally and enjoy the excitement. Borrowing money from friends and family can work both for and against the new business owner. Family members and friends may feel that they should have say in every company decision or may desire a large stake in the new business since they had lent money to the entrepreneur.

SHOULD I DEVIATE FROM MY BUSINESS PLAN?
This can be a tricky line to tread, between being flexible enough to adapt your business plan and grow when new opportunities come along, and being careful not to spread yourself too thin were you should deviate from the business plan. You don’t want to commit to new projects for which you aren’t prepared and run the risk of the project not being profitable, or worse, not delivering on the project.
I encountered the same issue when you made contact with a potential client who had a massive project in the works. The project itself was outside of our core competencies at the time – it was something that we could do, but that we did not at that stage have the infrastructure in place to support.
Although I was sure tempted to try and quickly upscale the operations to take on the project, I decided in the end that it was best for new projects to let the project pass and to concentrate on growing organically. The client will appreciated the honesty and will stay in touch, and now, a few years down the line, we need to have the infrastructure in place and are talking again about taking on their project.
This was the experience – you need to say this will be the best choice in every scenario, but it holds true that the best thing you can do is to look realistically at both your capacity to complete a contract that may be outside your business plan, and the benefits of taking such a contract on.
If your service or product truly has a unique selling point, then you will always have a niche audience and can reduce the risk of being side-lined by not taking on contracts for which you’re not particularly suited. And while big money value contracts are of course the most tempting – and useful for your businesses’ growth – don’t discount the smaller contracts which may force your business to grow in unexpected ways that can be beneficial down the line.

SHOULD I INCORPORATE?
The process to incorporate is fairly straightforward. The main steps are: acquiring appropriate incorporation forms from the state of you’re choosing, assembling required documents like corporate bylaws that limit investor liability and submitting forms, documents and required fees. Although the steps are straightforward, business owners seeking to incorporate may seek the assistance of an attorney.
Applying for incorporate the business
The cheapest way to incorporate your business is by submitting the “Incorporation” forms to your state government in person, by mail, or online. Processing prices vary by state but you can generally complete incorporation for Rs.2500 to Rs.5000.
As an entrepreneur, you know that incorporating your business can be a wise move to minimize your liability, protect your personal assets, and even provide tax savings in some cases. However, navigating the various logistical and legal requirements isn’t always easy particularly when you don’t want to spend countless hours buried deep in legal fine print.
Legal process for business
Once the decision to incorporate your business has been made, the legal process begins with the preparation of a certificate of incorporation. Whereas in the past this was prepared by three or more legally qualified individuals, today only a single incorporator is needed. The incorporator may or may not be a person who will own stock. The state is likely to have a standard form for incorporating a small business. The three typical pieces of information requested are: corporate name, purpose, and corporate life span.
The corporate name is usually required to be a business name dissimilar from any other firm incorporated within the state. In addition, the name must not be deceptive or misleading. The state charter office can tell you whether the name you want is available. The purpose of the business must be stated. It is a good practice to use a specific object clause that spells out the specific purpose for which the corporation is being formed. While most corporations are formed for an indefinite period, it is possible to set up a specific limited life.

HOW/WHERE TO GET RIGHT GUIDENCE TO START OWN BUSINESS
If you are starting your own business and work for yourself but don’t have a right guidance for business in mind, you probably think that what kind business are going to start. Start the business you know immediately.
Don’t urgently move in the business what someone tells for you. So keep in mind “customers will give the hard-earning money only if they know that they are getting worth” so you need to keep in mind what kind of business are you doing and what task you are going to do.
Business you know
Choose a business in which you have already have experience will give many advantages. In this business you can see the knowledge about the industry, training and skills, network of contacts, were you can find financing, suppliers and customers for your new business.
If you know the business which you are interested in turning into business talk to the related business people you are presently working in, and are the necessary tasks to run the business. Try to get knowledge about start-up-costs for the business, expenses, and how much revenue or income you can expect in your business.
If you have much interests in your business and choosing the best business, so you need to consider your strengths, find the education and skills for the business opportunities and research the marketplace to see that what type of business presently need in your area.
If someone else gives the bad idea of turning the business and earning into a lot where you cannot promote the business, how to explain the business for the customers and not having enough knowledge to supervise the salespeople your business will fail.
Try to learn much about the business which you are going to start set on it, spend more time in learning it before you start the business.
Contact centers. avoid the waste but not the valueStephen Parry
CORE Profile: A Customer Purpose Framework for Contact Centers
The customer purpose defines value, and value defines meaningful work, everything else is waste. The organisation and its leaders need to know what to optimise, what to remove, what types of demand to increase, and what types of demand may present opportunities to create new products or services. Our research indicates that most operational managers and leaders think they know what waste is, but in reality what they consider to be value is in fact intuitional waste, habitualized by calling it value.
Most companies genuinely want to create value for their customers and sincerely believe that their customer-service operations are indeed doing that, but often they are simply restoring lost value caused by a failure to do something right the first time.

SHOULD I INCORPORATE?
The process to incorporate is fairly straightforward. The main steps are: acquiring appropriate incorporation forms from the state of you’re choosing, assembling required documents like corporate bylaws that limit investor liability and submitting forms, documents and required fees. Although the steps are straightforward, business owners seeking to incorporate may seek the assistance of an attorney.
Applying for incorporate the business
The cheapest way to incorporate your business is by submitting the “Incorporation” forms to your state government in person, by mail, or online. Processing prices vary by state but you can generally complete incorporation for Rs.2500 to Rs.5000.
As an entrepreneur, you know that incorporating your business can be a wise move to minimize your liability, protect your personal assets, and even provide tax savings in some cases. However, navigating the various logistical and legal requirements isn’t always easy particularly when you don’t want to spend countless hours buried deep in legal fine print.
Legal process for business
Once the decision to incorporate your business has been made, the legal process begins with the preparation of a certificate of incorporation. Whereas in the past this was prepared by three or more legally qualified individuals, today only a single incorporator is needed. The incorporator may or may not be a person who will own stock. The state is likely to have a standard form for incorporating a small business. The three typical pieces of information requested are: corporate name, purpose, and corporate life span.
The corporate name is usually required to be a business name dissimilar from any other firm incorporated within the state. In addition, the name must not be deceptive or misleading. The state charter office can tell you whether the name you want is available. The purpose of the business must be stated. It is a good practice to use a specific object clause that spells out the specific purpose for which the corporation is being formed. While most corporations are formed for an indefinite period, it is possible to set up a specific limited life.

HOW TO FUND YOUR NEW BUSINESS WITH SMALL CAPITAL
The internet has become the fastest and most efficient means by which a new business owner can perform market research and find out ways to raise capital. One important website to visit is the Small Business Administration (SBA) (www.SBA.gov), which can provide the necessary facts and resources needed for starting their new business. New business owners can also visit the public library or read through the local newspaper to find out more information on how to raise capital. The prospective business owner can also speak to successful entrepreneurs who have experience in the field.
Money can be obtained from personal checking and savings accounts, credit cards, and retirement accounts. In addition, equity can be collected from the sale of real estate properties, vehicles, recreational equipment, and even rare collectables. In fact, some wealthy entrepreneurs can choose to raise capital for their new business using their own personal funding. On the other hand, many new business owners may opt to utilize a combination of different sources to raise capital.
Other than self-financing, family members and friends can provide an additional means to raise capital for a new business. Many of these loans can be made available rather quickly because these families and associates know the entrepreneur personally and enjoy the excitement. Borrowing money from friends and family can work both for and against the new business owner. Family members and friends may feel that they should have say in every company decision or may desire a large stake in the new business since they had lent money to the entrepreneur.
Starting a business and one of the aspects that entrepreneurs find most daunting is raising start-up capital. Launching a new business requires much skill and preparation. Entrepreneurs may not have the resources to raise capital in order to market their new business ideas. Before a new business owner can raise capital for their startup, they must first identify the different sources of funding, find one that is most compatible with their needs, and then meet the given criteria of the investor or bank. These crucial steps can mean the difference between having the opportunity to successfully raise capital and leaving their new business ideas behind.

HOW/WHERE TO GET RIGHT GUIDENCE TO START OWN BUSINESS
If you are starting your own business and work for yourself but don’t have a right guidance for business in mind, you probably think that what kind business are going to start. Start the business you know immediately.
Don’t urgently move in the business what someone tells for you. So keep in mind “customers will give the hard-earning money only if they know that they are getting worth” so you need to keep in mind what kind of business are you doing and what task you are going to do.
Business you know
Choose a business in which you have already have experience will give many advantages. In this business you can see the knowledge about the industry, training and skills, network of contacts, were you can find financing, suppliers and customers for your new business.
If you know the business which you are interested in turning into business talk to the related business people you are presently working in, and are the necessary tasks to run the business. Try to get knowledge about start-up-costs for the business, expenses, and how much revenue or income you can expect in your business.
If you have much interests in your business and choosing the best business, so you need to consider your strengths, find the education and skills for the business opportunities and research the marketplace to see that what type of business presently need in your area.
If someone else gives the bad idea of turning the business and earning into a lot where you cannot promote the business, how to explain the business for the customers and not having enough knowledge to supervise the salespeople your business will fail.
Try to learn much about the business which you are going to start set on it, spend more time in learning it before you start the business.
Contact centers. avoid the waste but not the valueStephen Parry
CORE Profile: A Customer Purpose Framework for Contact Centers
The customer purpose defines value, and value defines meaningful work, everything else is waste. The organisation and its leaders need to know what to optimise, what to remove, what types of demand to increase, and what types of demand may present opportunities to create new products or services. Our research indicates that most operational managers and leaders think they know what waste is, but in reality what they consider to be value is in fact intuitional waste, habitualized by calling it value.
Most companies genuinely want to create value for their customers and sincerely believe that their customer-service operations are indeed doing that, but often they are simply restoring lost value caused by a failure to do something right the first time.
Social business will transform how companies operate by becoming more engaged, transparent, and agile.

Companies can listen to customers and engage with them throughout the lifecycle from insight to innovation. Delivering social business requires a strategic approach, unified digital workspace, and significant business transformation.

closely with the specialists in each field. The account manager will develop a
creative brief, usually about a page that gives direction to the creative team.
The creative brief often includes information about the target audience and
their attitudes and behaviors. The creative team will take the brief and, aware
of their parameters, develop original copy and graphics depending on media
strategy.

8. The chief role of account executives is to extract the very best
possible work from the other departments of the agency.
David Ogilvy
1963
13. Or Said Another Way...
We Create An Environment Where Great Ideas Can Live
Jeff Steinhour, CP+B
14. And We Really Have One Basic Tool.
Communication.
Creating Understanding Where There Was
Confusion, Making The Complex Simple.
Text
15. We use language and writing to add
value to the process
Might be:
Lists to keep track of what needs to get done
Schedules to plan out when
Budgets to determine how much to spend
Meetings and conversations to keep everyone coordinated
16. Hal Riney Said Account People Should Be
Second Best At Every Job In The Agency.
That’s True, But We Must Be The Best
Communicators In The Building.
17. GLEAN INFORMATION
FROM DATA
Many times, making clear communication means less-is-more. A good brief
(or feedback email or conversation or plan) filters the tons of client “data” we
get into relevant “information” for creatives. They, in turn, filter the
information into understandable content for consumer consumption.

they’re full of shit. Oftentimes the best ideas have come from the
merging of two ideas that had no business being merged.

I mention this for two reasons: 1) It doesn&#x2019;t matter how you get there - just get to a place where you love what you do every day (well, almost every day).\n
This is even harder in the time of facebook & digital transparency. YOU are your personal brand - monitor & watch it as you would a client&#x2019;s. Do you really want to post that photo of you doing that 8-ft tall beer bong?\n
