Considering a Business?
Many people rush into business traps without
having done the research
that could have saved them a lot of time and money. If you are thinking
about starting a business you must be able to answer these questions...
- What product or service am I selling? And how
much am I selling this product or service?
- How much is the product or service costing me
to produce?
- How much money will I make when I sell this
product or service?
- Do I know who and how big my potential market
is?
- Do I know for a fact that my customers will buy
my product or service?
- Do I know for a fact if I can deliver on my
product or service?
State government websites are one source of information
you should consider. For example, see "Starting a business" on this
Queensland governement website...
