These are just three videos we have selected but you will see when viewing, a list of related videos on the web site that may be of interest to you.

Marketing
Your business strategy is the single biggest factor which determines the success or failure of your business. It doesn’t matter whether you are a large or small business but you need to get it right and you prosper but get it wrong and it could result in the failure of your business

What you need to do is set aside time to sit down and make a marketing plan for your business. Set yourself a list of achievable resolutions your business should focus on and it does not need to be too formal.
Think about you goals for the coming year and how you will attain them.more

Funding for a startup business
One question I am asked more than any other is "Where can I find funding for my startup business" Obtaining money to start your business is not easy but not impossible.
Friends and family are a source of funding but take care when you make this approach as it can cause problems if your business is not successful and family or friends lose their money.

You will see on this site we have a page where we have listed a number of lending organisations Biz Capital but I must stress that when you make an approach to a lender you must have carefully developed a business plan so that they can clearly understand what your business is about and that you will be able to repay the money.

You will need provide a substantial portion of the funds that the business will require because I am sure that most lenders today will want you to carry some risk with the business venture.

The lender will also be considering you personally to see if you have the ability to operate your own business. I have found over the years of experience in businesses that some people should have not have considered going into business as they are more suited to being an employee.

This is not a criticism of people who are employees as their are many people who have become very successful as employees and are more suited to this type of work and in many cases they are much more financially secure.

All I can suggest that if you are determined to go ahead is to "PLAN-PLAN-PLAN" because planning and research is the key to success and financial independence.

In today's financial environment you have to be much more careful with what you do, with both the market place and lending much more difficult but it could be said if you set up today and operate successfully you will have much more success when the economy changes for the better.

Brand: More than Graphic Design
Many people believe that branding is about having a unique logo, but a brand is more than a logo, or a tagline, or a glossy brochure.  Whilst a logo is a great way to communicate a powerful idea about your business and can increase the recognition of your company, leading brands such as Air New Zealand, Starbucks, Nike, and Apple Mac, also recognize the need to deliver on the promise behind their imagery.more information ............

Helping you to Start and Build a better business
Starting a Business
So you are thinking of going into business. This can have advantages and disadvantages. Running a business of your own will bring a sense of independence, and a sense of achievement.
You will be the owner, and you can't be fired, though there may be days when you would welcome it.
Its not difficult to establish a business but the challenge is to keep it going, which is why people clearly need to put a lot of purpose and effort into their businesses.
Time Management
When you start a business, time management is important and you must consider the allocation of your time, as time is a cost, so be careful not to spend your time doing things that are not productive. What we have done here is to put together some information on time management.

Women in Business
Business opportunities and resource now exist for women wanting to go into business and increasing numbers of women are deciding to go it alone.
If you have the opportunity talk to other women who have gone into business and ask lots of questions and I am sure in most instances they will be only to pleased to offer you some advice. Join any organization or groups that have regular meetings and they usually have a visiting speaker and at the same time network and meet other business people.
Buying a Business
So you hope to buy a business But where do you begin? Banks, solicitors, business plans and decision making all take time and money.
One of the benefits of buying a business is that you can get going immediately. The challenges you'll face will be different from those involved in starting up
First things first. It appears very evident but before you can even think of starting up your business you need to understand what it is that you hope to do.
Once you've hit on the type of business you want to buy you need to work out a timetable. It'll be easier for all concerned if they understand what sort of time scale they're working to.
Articles
One of the best ways to learn about the operation of a business is to read articles that provide knowledge on the particular area of industry that you are interested in. We have put together articles on subjects such as selling, marketing, buying a business, franchising and many other subjects for you to consider.
