40% Start-Ups Fail. How Do You Ensure Your Start-Up Sustains?



If you got a plan to start with business, or already own one, cheers to you. You have overcome a key hurdle to becoming a successful entrepreneur- not letting fear and self-doubt strangle you from your goal. Now how to ensure it sustain? Following the steps below.

1. Plan maketh entrepreneur. Not experience.

Reliable Angel investment services in Dubai like Cosmos Group will always tell you one thing, “If you got no experience. Have a plan.”

Richard Branson had no prior experience. However, he had a plan-

a. Before starting your entrepreneurial journey, or making your website live, create a formal business plan. Further developing the plan will throw answers to unanticipated questions like identifying and leveraging the latest marketing techniques.

b. Post launch, ensure your plan is updated on an annual basis. This is important as market changes, and you may just miss new customer opportunities with an old plan. As Yogi Berra famously said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you might not get there.”

2. Explore
Research makes your data reflect current understanding of your customers’ needs and desires. Research unveils what mode of communication and messaging will resonate best with your customers. A detailed market analysis will reveal competitors’ next steps and reveal business trends to leverage.

3. Get a trusted advisor
You cannot expect your initiative to produce positive outcome with only gung-ho. You need to back-up your initiative with wisdom. And two things successful entrepreneurs have in common is that they hire good, trusted advisors (especially, financial advisors and lawyers.) Around 55% successful entrepreneurs hired an accountant at the start.
