The biz idea! ๐Ÿง 

  • It's what your business will do.
  • Can be simple like house-cleaning or fancy like manufacturing.
  • Real-world example: Imagine you noticed everyone in your town loves spicy food but there's no spicy chip shop. Boom! Your business idea could be a spicy chip shop. ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐ŸŸ

Types of business ideas ๐ŸŒ

  • Market-Driven: The market tells you what they want!
  • Product/Service-Driven: You have to convince people they need what you offer.

Business basics - checklist! โœ…

  • Where's the business location? ๐Ÿข
  • What's the cool business name? ๐Ÿค”
  • Legal stuff: What type of business? (e.g., Corporation, sole trader) โš–๏ธ
  • How will the biz operate day-to-day?
  • Got the essentials? (Suppliers, customers, government services) ๐Ÿ“‹

Perfecting the business idea ๐ŸŽฏ

  • Dive into Market Research! Find out what makes your biz special.
  • Real-world example: Say you want to start a grocery. Research might show too many general stores. But maybe there's a gap for a grocery specializing in... unicorn-themed snacks! ๐Ÿฆ„

Business plan - the master plan! ๐Ÿ“–

  • Addresses ALL things before starting.
  • Helps potential partners, investors, and banks believe in you. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Show me the money! ๐Ÿ’ต

  • Find funds to start the biz.
  • Might be from your savings, or you might need investors.
  • Real-world example: Imagine pitching your unicorn snack idea to an investor like on the TV show, "Shark Tank". Will they bite?

Test before you invest ๐Ÿšฆ

  • Launching is the final step but test first!
  • Start small, see the reaction.
  • Adjust based on feedback.
  • Real-world example: Before opening a big restaurant, maybe start with a small pop-up stall or food truck to see what dishes people love the most

Remember! Starting a business is thrilling but risky. Statistics say many new businesses fail. But with the right idea, research, planning, and flexibility, you increase your chance of success. ๐Ÿš€

 

Study tip: Always connect these steps with real-life businesses or your own mock business ideas to better understand and remember.

 

Happy studying! ๐ŸŒŸ
