4 Ways To Start A New Business in 2015

Today, there are literally hundreds of ways to start a new business, but it is worth having some clarity on where to begin before you try anything. Here are 4 ways to start a business in 2015 that I think are worth looking into further.

Before I share these 4 ways I want to go over some important things worth taking on-board.

Firstly, when you start a new business of any kind, it is worth doing your research whilst you are in a job. You can then grow your knowledge in the desired market you wish to be in and still have an income to keep you going. I wouldn't advice quitting your job for an idea that has no prior research.

Gather as much information as you can now and in a few months you will be much better prepared for a transition.

Secondly, study your competition. There are already most likely successful businesses up and running in your market so, look at what they are doing as this will save you time, money and stress and give you ideas.

Don't rush into anything. Go into this with knowledge, patience and an open mind.

Now, here are 4 possible options that may help you:

1) START AN ONLINE BUSINESS. This is a very broad subject, so you may need some help with defining what area you wish to be in. As I always say, know your skills, passions and experiences and start there. Otherwise you could waste years trying to get somewhere which is not ideal. Whether you work in e-commerce, or e-book writing, bear in mind that you have to find vibrant and healthy markets to be involved with.

TIP: Try being unique or even branch off slightly from a core market and tap into a lesser known market niche related to the more obvious one. Get help from an expert online and treat this with professionalism as it is a serious business just like any other.

2) START YOUR OWN FRANCHISE. This is a great way to buy into an already proven brand. Why is this so good? To me it's obviously because you are plugging into something big rather than trying to go it alone. Some of the best franchises are things like fast food, coffee and gyms. Look at what is trending and popular today. Do your homework and see what's a great market and then find out as much as you can about the leverage you will need to get started. It could cost you a lot of money to get started but, if you can get leverage with an outside source that may help you get off the ground.

3) LAUNCH YOUR OWN PRODUCT. Whether you go online or offline, there are many ways to create new exciting products. If you work online your products would be digital based which is great for keeping costs low. If you go offline you could use your skills in particular area. You may have a craft or be qualified in something which may help you. Obviously costs are higher when you create physical products.

TIP: Never think that something is not possible. You may have great ideas that inspire the world and encourage you to take action so be open minded. For example, you might be skilled with wood or metal so you could create a variety of products depending on what is in demand.

ANOTHER TIP: Where are there issues, problems or gaps and where people complain you can be the solution. Where do you complain? There are problems and complaints every day and there is an opportunity to create something new or better.

4) START A CONSULTANCY BUSINESS FROM HOME. Let's say that you are a bookkeeper or accountant, you already have skills to manage people's affairs, so you can perhaps help small businesses or personal accounts. There is a great deal of economic issues today and people require help so, if you are in this type of job role now then why not look at going it alone and create a website around your area of expertise.

PEOPLE NEED ORGANISATION

There are people today who are personal shoppers. This is when you help your client to define and re-invent their wardrobes. The fact is that more people are hoarding too much these days so, there is plenty of room to help them and get paid whilst you do so.

BIG BUSINESS

IDEA: Storage companies are in high demand and very successful today, so bear in mind that people really need help with organisation and cutting back on goods. Why not try to obtain a storage facility and be the answer to someone's hoarding.
