You have a business idea but not sure how to execute it. Big or small, all businesses have to go through many pre-start activities to set up the business. You always asked yourself if you need Council approval to start your business and where to get the help you need to manage the approval process. Despite having a brilliant idea, you stayed away because thinking about the pressure of pre-start activities gives you a headache.
What does it take to start a business?
If the business is not an online business then in brief, possession of a shop, utility connection, supply chain, shop decoration and council approval.
Obtaining the Council permission is not difficult but sometimes it can be quite challenging if the correct permission procedure is not known or not followed or managed smartly which can waste valuable time. In business, wasted time means wasted money.
When does permission is required from the council, and when does it? What documents need to be submitted for permission, and where and from whom is this information available?
How difficult can it be to get all this information in the age of Google? There are many resources are also available to consume. But it can be daunting. Which information applies to a business and which does not, if one doesn’t have experience in this matter, it is not that easy to figure out.
After some research, the list of required documents can be found, but the next challenge is to get all these documents and at what cost. Some say two thousand dollars, some say four, and some say more. Lack of experience in procurement can lead to loss in business from the start.
A significant amount of startup costs can be saved if the majority of the pre-start activities can be completed in-house by the core business team. As much research as possible must be undertaken before starting any business so that business risks can be managed efficiently. It will save time and in business time saving means profit.
And if the core business management team lacks experience, then the help of experts should be sought without wasting any time.
