10-step guide to start a new business
Many people have gone through redundancy this year. More are likely to do so because of Covid. If you are one of them, after recovering from the initial shock, you are probably re-evaluating your life and career. Despite economic uncertainty this is proving to be a popular time to start a new business. But if this is the moment you head out on your own, where do you start and what do you need to know?
#1 – Have a good idea
Successful businesses are not successful because someone had a ground-breaking idea or invention. They’re successful because the business owner implemented the idea effectively. Having said that, you do need to really think about your business idea.
What is the problem you are trying to solve in the market?
Who is the competition?
Is there space in the market for you or is the marketplace saturated?
What do you bring to the table that others don’t?
How are you going to attract customers?
Do your research; it will be the most valuable time you’ll spend on your business.

5 reasons why setting up a business in a recession is a good idea

Originally written by Louise Hebborn on Small Business
The impact of coronavirus has wreaked havoc on business and economies around the world. In the UK, we are now in the deepest recession since records began and the World Bank expects a global economic contraction of 5.2 per cent in 2020.
As many longstanding businesses fold and high street names fall into administration, it can be a daunting time to consider starting a new venture.
5 reasons why setting up a business in a recession is a good idea
However, a recession can also provide a fledgling business with great opportunities.
