Introduction:

Many reasons can compel anyone to go into business. Some go into it based on passion, others do so because by family inclinations. Some others merely identify existing needs and choose to meet it. However, whatever the reasons may be, when you venture into a business, there are general expectations such as profit making and the growth of the business etc that cut across. Remember, whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. We shall therefore examine some basic strategies to help our businesses.

Winning Strategies for small scale business:

(1)    Set up your business to meet a need.

Usually people say nothing lasts forever but any wise business person will first identify various needs to be met by the immediate audience. Types of needs:

-Always Needs

-Once in a while Needs

-Daily Needs

-Recent Needs

Don’t go looking to make and sell a CAR when you have not even designed and sold a CARD

(2)    Find a working example.

There is virtually no business that you want to go into that has not existed before or that does not have something similar to it. Find someone who is into it, understudy them preferably work for them for sometime before initiating gradual plans for yours.

(3)    Never be afraid to start small.

Of course, nothing big ever starts big. Every house begins with the first block so, instead of investing your entire capital at once, start with a minimal amount for a trial version. Let that minimal capital run through a number of times and then gradually increase the capital.
