Starting a Business is easy

Staying in Business is hard.

For Instance:

Do you know the difference of being a sole trader and a limited company?

Do you know if you should charge VAT or not?

Do you know how you can pay your employees?

Do you know the difference between an employee and a sub-contractor?

Do you know how to pay yourself?

Do you know that if you deliver you or your customers' goods, or you transport your staff to work you might need a special licence?

Do you know how to keep your books and records correctly in order to understand where your business is financial?

Do you know what Insurances your business must have by Law?

Do you know when, and how, you want your business to end?

Do you have a plan of how you are going to get there?

Do you really have what it takes to run your own business?

The above are just a taster of what you need to know about running your own business..

But do you also know that...

The hours could be much longer and the pay far less than you imagined.

Holidays and having a social life could be a thing of the past.

You most certainly start off doing the Marketing , Book-keeping, Credit Control, Administration, Personnel as well providing your goods or service.

You could end up replacing your previous bosses demands with your employees.

You could become financially stretched and stressed.

YOU COULD ALSO FAIL

However if you set off with clear knowledge and good processes you could....

Get the rewards for the effort you put in.

Work to your own schedule and plan.

Create a happy and loyal team around you that share their skills to help you run the business efficiently.

Enjoy the working environment you make.

YOU WILL SUCCEED.
