Starting a new business venture is for most people one of the biggest decisions they will make. Preparation is key to starting a successful business. It is far better to spend time and effort early on to check that your idea is viable, than to discover there is no realistic market in 6 months time when you have given up your job, ploughed your savings into your new business and remortgaged your family home. The financial and personal consequences of not fully and clinically researching and assessing your idea, the market, financial resources needed and your skills, knowledge and ability to make your dream a reality, can be disastrous.
Apart from the financial risks, starting a new business also comes with considerable personal risks as the time and personal commitment you will need to make can come at a cost to family time and personal relationships. Starting a new business will test your resilience and resolve. There will be sleepless nights. The stresses involved will impact your mental health.
