How To Tell if a Business Idea Is Profitable
Is Your Business Idea Profitable?
Is your business idea profitable? Will it produce enough income for you? Tax advisor and business consultant Faye Watts shares the three things you need to think about before you start a business. She calms fears around numbers, forecasting and creating a business plan, and explains how to tell if a business is scalable.
We discuss whether to bootstrap or get funding. If you go for funding, Faye outlines some of the options available to you, and when it is wise to choose the funding option.
However, it’s not just whether the business idea is profitable; your own behaviour also comes into the mix. Where should you spend your time? What’s your time investment as well as financial investment.
When is it a good idea to take on staff, or is using freelance help a better idea. Is there a time when it is wiser to take on premises, or should we all be working from home to save cold hared cash?
