- Activity: (If group size allows) Have each participant introduce themselves and the type of business they are starting or hope to start. Also, ask them why they signed up for the seminar/ what they expect. This will allow the presenter(s) to make sure to address the issues/ concerns of most importance to the specific group. This activity could be more formalized by listing expectations/wants of the participants on a flip chart and then revisiting the list at the end of the seminar to ensure (show) that all topics and questions were addressed and that the participants got what they wanted.
- Back on the agenda slide you’ll notice that we talk about the financing and finalizing start-up requirements last. We used to do this first BUT, the feasibility of your business is much more important. Evaluating Your Business Idea Helps you identify the business environment in which you will function Identifies opportunities and risks associated with your potential business Helps you decide if your idea is worth investing more time, effort, and money Management, Market and Money Examining these three elements assists in evaluating the feasibility of your chosen business: Management skills and money will not make the business feasible unless there is an adequate number of customers that need or want what you have to offer, at the price you will sell it Market and money don’t guarantee success unless you have the abilities to manage the business, (employees, product or service delivery and cash) Market and management require money to implement the business idea -- you will need some cash of your own to get started These three work like a tripod – without one they will all fall apart.
