HOW TO START A NEW BUSINESS

Starting a new business can be frightening. Having an experienced mentor to guide you along the way can help you to avoid pitfalls while you take advantage of opportunities for additional success when they come along. You may benefit from having an experienced coach on call - someone who can help you grow your business to the level you want it to be at. Someone who can really understand the problems you will face and can find ways to support your moving forward with your plans rather then find reasons to give up if the going gets hard. If you need an affordable consultant, coach and mentor to help you obtain your goal as easy and fast as possible contact Arizona Business Consultants, LLC (see below).

WE CAN HELP WITH CONCERNS LIKE:

• Are your ideas for growing a successful business reasonable? Arizona Business Consultants, LLC will encourage objectivity in this area without putting a damper on your enthusiasm and confidence.
  
• What is the potential competition?
• How can you get lots of customers for your business. Is there a niche in your area of service that will allow you to make extra profits?
• How to determine your real costs with allowances for overhead and hidden expenses.
• What should you price your products and services at?  What determines your prices - your cost or the marketplace?
• Do you have enough money to make it through the start up period? (If not, we can help you to try to find way to obtain financing to start a new business.) Some conventional ways of finding start up money (besides using your own) can be:
1. Find investors. Family, friends and outsiders can be potential investors..
2. Obtaining a bank loan or an SBA loan can be a way to start a business.
3. A line of credit can sometimes be used to start a business.
4. There are other creative ways that can sometimes be used to start a business.
• Will you need a business plan?(We can help YOU to draw up your business plan so that you understand it & can explain it. If you let someone else make your business plan and can‘t explain it to your lender, you will not get the loan.)
• How to market your products and service? Advertising can be expensive, or it can pay for itself many times over. The secrets lie in knowing who to market to.  You should know demographic and psycographic information about your potential customers. Know where they are and what will motivate them to do business with you. Then you have to find a way to get your message to these people in as cost-effective way as possible. Lastly, you have to create ways to track what is working so you don’t waste your money on advertising that doesn’t work.
• Do you need a website? How can you get your website to be on the first page of the search engines?
• Should you hire employees or independent contractors? What are the pros and cons of each method.
  

Our First Meeting is Free.

At our first meeting, our consultant will discuss your situation and find out your goals. Then he/she will prepare a proposal suggesting what he/she thinks is needed for your company to reach those goals, and what the probable cost will be. There is no cost for this initial service. You then consider the proposal and if you want to continue we will start the project. There are no hidden costs, everything is explained up front and we offer a no-gimmick service with old fashioned mentoring from a successful, experienced business person. Our consultants are retired or semi-retired professionals, not youngsters fresh out of school with no practical experience. 

To set up your first (no cost) appointment, contact us today!
