How can you prepare to capitalize on new business during and following the pandemic and economic fallout? The first thing to do is to pay attention to your own ideas. Do you have a specific hobby, passion or obsession that you have spent more time on since the lockdowns and stay home orders were issued? These avenues are ripe for new businesses. Have you observed people in need of new products or services that you believe you can provide or provide more efficiently?
While there is no formula, trick, tip, or pattern to ensure your company is the next billion-dollar machine there are a few things you can do to help ensure your new company can start off on the best foot. First, determine what your product or service is and how and why it can succeed in the marketplace. Once you have an idea of your product or service you will want to begin preparing a business plan. Your business plan should outline why your product or service is needed and why it will succeed, it will explain why others should invest or partner with you and it will outline your paths and roadblocks that you anticipate encountering. Some of the many things that should be considered in your planning are the markets you want to enter, the ways in which you hope to receive funding (self funding, friends and family, crowd sourcing, small business loans, venture capital, angel financing), the branding of your product or service, and importantly, the legalities of your new business.
One of the most important aspects of starting your new business will be starting off on the right legal foot. How do you determine your business name, how do you form an entity and how do you ensure you operate with all necessary licenses, permits and in compliance with all laws and regulations?
