Читать книгу Finance & Grow Your New Business - Angie Mohr - Страница 3

Entrepreneurs are people with a dream. They build on their skills and abilities and try to provide a stable income for themselves and their families.

There are as many reasons for starting a business as there are entrepreneurs. For some, it’s about the money. For others, it’s security and stability that are most important. Many entrepreneurs find satisfaction and fulfillment in building something from nothing and witnessing the quickening; that point where the business takes on a life of its own.

The freedom that comes from running your own business, and your successes and failures, is an irresistible pull for most entrepreneurs. This drive is what fuels them and keeps them going even when money is tight and business is bad. This sets them apart from others and makes them a special breed of individuals.

Entrepreneurs quickly learn that starting your own business is incredibly hard work, and it requires great commitment with little financial reward in the beginning. This book will help explain how you, as an entrepreneur, can get the money you need to finance your business, and how you can manage it on an ongoing basis.

Part One of this book, “Finance Your Business,” will cover questions such as—

• What kind of business should I start?

• Should I buy an existing business or start one from scratch?

• What’s a business plan?

• Where will I find money to start up?

• How do I find my external advisers?

• How will I know how I stack up against my competition?

• How do I know when it’s time to hire people?

• Should I invest in new equipment?

• Where do I get money to expand?

Part Two of this book, “Grow Your Business,” will delve deeper into the ongoing process of running your business. Businesses are like machines, and they need monitoring, maintenance and the occasional rebuild. This section will help you look at critical financial processes that separate successful businesses from failures, and teach you how to apply those processes to your growing business.
