Title: Major factor to consider when doing business
Post by: Mr. Allcrypto on March 10, 2024, 10:23:48 AM
For the growth of your business, what are the factors that you will consider when you're doing a business? I asked my self this question and with time, I realized that there are different types of business and they require different strategies for their effectiveness. But there is one thing that every business man must do to ensure that his/her business grows, which is very important for the business. Being committed to what you do, no matter how small or large the business is, will give you more details about the business and also devote your time and resources so that the business will grow.

The environment where the business is located is very important. Understand the people`s needs before situating a business. When your business has nothing to do with the populace in that area, then patronage will be very minimal but when your business centres around the needs of the populace then patronage will be high.

I believe it also depends on the stage of your business, whether you're just starting out, trying to expand, trying to cut loss, and so on. There are too many factors to consider, but capital, local regulations, competition, and more are also important. I also agree that understanding the market or location where your business is located is very important too. I know a marketplace that specifically targets one religious group. Because they are so big already, no one can enter that market unless they prepare to suffer loss for a while and find unique products or features that the bigger ones don't offer. On top of that, the market doesn't change that much so it is quite difficult for newcomers to compete directly with them. Most of them end up renting their place to start a franchise.

Starting a business you have to consider several factors before you begin a particular business,  and the factors to consider are; what to do, how to do it and where to do it.

*What to do; is talking about what kind of business can I do. Because not all kind of business can succeed anywhere, so you have to know what kind of business you do at a given place.

*How to do it; it is talking about things that you need to put in place to begin the business, or what is
 required to start up the business

*Where to do it; it is talking about the place or the location where you site your business, because there are business that cannot prosper  in a particular location.

Setting specific, quantifiable business goals can also help you stay dedicated and inspired. Goals can provide guidance and help you monitor your progress. They can also provide a sense of achievement and fulfillment as you complete them. Make sure your objectives are SMART (that is, specific, meSPAM BANble, achievable, relevant, and time-bound). This will help you maintain your focus and prevent getting overwhelmed or discouraged.  However, keeping your "why" at the forefront of your mind will help you stay concentrated even when times are rough.

Number one rule for anyone intending to go into any form of business is "never venture into any kind of business you have no idea about". knowledge of the business is one major factor to put into consideration before any other thing because this is one major cause of business failure. Many people have different reasons for wanting to set up a business.  Some might be to fill up a gap in their environment, to make more money or to utilise an opportunity as the case may be. Whatever your reason may be, first gather information about the business so you will not be taken unawares when challenges come. And if you are in business already, normalise gathering information from time to time. Information about your customers,  your competitors, your product and service delivery etc. Remember information is power, one little information can be what you need to take your business to the next level.

Having in-depth knowledge of the business is key to the success of the business. Setting up a business without knowledge of the business is a business that is already bound to fail on arrival. This is so because you will run the business in a way that cannot bring growth. You will not know your targeted audience and business strategies to adopt. You will just keep copying others without knowing that every business has its peculiarities and so require different strategies.

Agree
Entrepreneurship is a dynamic world so adaptation, innovation and of course an entrepreneurial attitude are needed to improve and develop the business. A businessman must have knowledge of business activities, we need a character who is proactive, full of enthusiasm, and can start something on our own (self starter) and is committed to maintaining the business. This is where our business knowledge capacity is very important, don't let us do business just because we follow trends, business choices must be adjusted to our skills and talents. Once the business starts to develop, creativity is really needed so that we have high competitiveness and a good bargaining position.

Yes you're right and I totally agree with you.
I also think that one of the most important factors that determines how successful a business will be is the ability of the business owner or entrepreneur to be able to choose a very productive and good location.
But choosing a good location is only one side of the coin, the other side includes knowing and understanding the needs and preferences of the people living around that location.

Before starting up a business in a particular location, especially if it's a new one. It's essential to conduct a proper market research to help you analyze the lifestyle of the people there, as well as their purchasing habits, this can help you identify opportunities and to device what method or approach to employ in other to meet the needs of the population in that location.

I have seen a lot of people that start up businesses that they don't have any knowledge about just because they know people in that line of business that is progressing. I have a friend who does not know anything on fish farming but he was privileged to have a pond and cash to start the business with. He went to the market bought fingerling and thought that is all about starting up. His business crashed and he lost everything he invested into fish farming.

Know where to buy your goods and having a shop and price list doesn't mean that you know about the business. Do you know the challenges that the business will face and how to overcome it, to make sure it does not affect the business that is still growing. Knowing everything about a business before venturing into it is the key for anyone that wants to venture into any business. You can start learning from apprenticeship.

For the growth of your business, what are the factors that you will consider when you're doing a business?
Consider your interest because with the business that you are interested in, your chances of success will be higher than doing a business that you know you have no interest in. your interest is what will fuel your passion on your passion is what will keep you going on days when you feel like quitting me because there will be discouragement and many obstacles in this your business on your way to success. so before starting any business always have a one-on-one talk with yourself and ask yourself if this business is really what you want to do because if it's not then you're just wasting your time.

If we are making business, we should consider the elasticity of the business and be able to manage it effectively, many have started running a business and later go into debts because they have failed to maintain some certain levels of management practices to help with the sustainability of the business, we are not to borrow money for a business, we should earn and use the money for it's development, likewise the capital, we should not spend from it, I stead return it back to the business including the profits for business expansion.

Of course, that's correct, if I don't have passion in something or if I'm force to do a particular thing or business, I will be making a lot of mistakes and losses which might cause my downfall and will make me regret for the rest of my life. So I always do whatever thing I find pleasure in, even if it require me to stand or run about, as far as I'm enjoying it, I will do it wholeheartedly and bring out time to do it very well and clean which might attract other people, so doing what we love most or find pleasure in it, we won't find it hard time in doing it and also it will bring out the best in us.

I agree that the location is a major factor to consider in business because when setting up a business you need to explore what your location is capable of and the people living in their to know if your business will be marketable and will not flop and also be knowledgable about the business that you will do create some researches and gather data to know if your business will be good.

Most people do not consider this, which is why their businesses did not flourish. Understanding people's needs is critical for the long-term success of any business. For example, opening a boutique in a location where a restaurant should have been established will undoubtedly have an impact on the boutique's growth.

That is why it's advisable to note that before starting or opening a business, you have to checkmate or observe the area you wants to start up the business, know what the people in that area want most or need most, then before you can proceed with your plans and also to take note if the population there will be of help for the growth of the business, because most people don't think of all things before starting a business which might or cause why the fail in business because not observing all this affect the growth of the business.

One of the major factors that one needs to take note of is the nature of the business your going into because if you don't have sufficient knowledge of the business your going into your business will likely not last long. Knowledge they say is power so one needs to have a good level of knowledge as many people just run into business simply because they have money. One needs to go for training and seminars on the business that your doing so as to have a good indept knowledge of the business. When it come to business success knowledge of the business is the number one thing to look at for

When we are into doing a business, we must know what we are doing very well at first because it is only when we are having ideas about it that we may be able to convince others into it, secondly, we must be well equipped with a business managerial skill, this will help us in so many ways because that is one of the key factors that helps the sustainability of any business.

one strategy does not also apply to one business because you are going to need to change or alter a few things to match what is the current situation in your business this is why owning a business would require you to be flexible and not be set in only one way or one method of running your business

a business owner has to analyze correctly what his business needs and how can he fulfill it to the best of his abilities

Being unique and innovative is what makes the difference irrespective of what kind of business is we are doing. Let me give an example of someone who own a street food shop but all the foods were sold pretty quickly because the sold items are only available in that place not anywhere near. And this just differs with what kind of business but the base is same, there will be 100 competitors so if you need people to choose you over other then you need to attract them with uniqueness.

Also they have to be ready for the leap of faith moment, it's the breakthrough point that is going to be differentiate from the group which itself will act as advertisement and branding that we can utilise it to reach wider group of people.

But also I want to mention something important which is core knowledge of what we do, for example if we are gonna start a restaurant then we need to have some skills in cooking, managing tables and the inventory which might take some time to learn for that they can start working in a restaurant for atleast 6 months prior to opening one on our own.

Commitment and sacrifice are my two major watchwords when it comes to starting a business and wanting for it to be profitable in the long term. A business fails mostly because of lack of commitment and some sacrifices people don’t want to do to see their business grow further. When you’ve deciding to start a business that willingness to see it at the top should be what should continue encouraging you and that serves as the commitment also. Been able to accept losses and learn from them, dedicating more time to the business are also important factors you should sacrifice for the business to attain certain heights more.

most people open up businesses where they are already quite familiar with maybe their parents have worked in a restaurant before or has owned one but if an individual is opening up a business that is completely new to him he should at least have some experience and expertise in other aspects and then bring in someone who can fulfill the roles he can't of course him learning himself is also crucial but six months experience will never be enough compared to someone who has studied it for a long time and has made it into his career or profession

Business has so many things involved that are definitely very necessary to create a successful ecosystem for your business. However if there are a few words that I can summarise all of them to , it would be a solid idea that is sustainable, capital, and marketing strategy towards the right audience. For the very first, it's best you have it all planned out before your dive into investing in a particular ecosystem for your business.

Secondly capital cannot be underestimated no matter how small. In some really intense cases it may not even be money sometimes. And for the last which is marketing and advertisement, which is what helps you maximise sales and your customers.

I think when doing business people should consider a location close to raw materials,they should also consider their target audience.

A generator repairer for instance must consider a location without constant power supply same way a book seller should consider locations close to school.

Expanding into new markets or launching new products or services may require a company to grow a business to reach new customers and increase revenue. You can analyze the market and roughly calculate the growth scale of turnover revenue and profit. But recognition and other marketing metrics are just as important for sustainable business activities. Moreover, the better the quality of your product the better the number of customers will increase. You will have to gradually increase the business plan, product, everything, then you will need to increase your business organization.

The environment and the location are part of the factors to be considered when doing a business, as well as the availability of the resources and capital. It is essential to identify what people demand most and address the needs that they are lacking in environment. If you sell what a lot of people are selling within the environment, it will be hard to attract customers and you will hardly get someone that will purchase your goods.

I completely agree with you, one has to check what people really want most before deciding to open business to avoid being at the loss side and can also make one go bankrupt. So we ought to do the needful such as having capital to start with, a good spot where you know if you start business there, you will have customers and sales tooand also have the desire and the mind to withstand customer incase any day they might to frustrate someone’s life with their annoying attitude, all these are also the necessity before deciding to start up business.

Yeah, you both made good points. It's really important to know what people in the area actually need before starting any business. If you just open something without checking if people want it, you might end up with no customers. And yeah, apart from having enough money and a good location, you also need to be ready for tough days and deal with all kinds of customers, even the ones who test your patience.

The central factor to look out for when starting you business is the location, imagine someone who is into the selling of dry guns and alcohol instead of going to the city or even the village square to sell cloth, he rather goes to the side of a church or a mosque to sell it, there is no sense in this at all
Another factor is if the business is yielding money. The goal of every entrepreneur is the maximization of profits but when this profits doesn't seem to be coming forth the only imaginable thing to do is o dive into another business.

Before doing a business, at least you must have some ideas about it and also fo more research about it. You can't just go and start a business you know nothing about...

You are right, one can not just start up a business which they don't know nothing about, before one can start up a business, they ought to know how much capital they will have to invest into it, also get a good location for the business to take place and also have a good attitude to exhibit.
If one doesn't posses all this attributes, it will affect business so much that it can cause the falling of the business.
