SETTING UP A BUSINESS
 SETTING UP A BUSINESS
Setting up a business is both
challenging and rewarding.
There are several factors to
consider for your business’
success, such as the type of
target customers, potential
competitors, suppliers,
trends and technologies.
 SETTING UP A BUSINESS
When starting a business, it is
necessary to understand first the
business environment. Business
environment refers to the factors
that affect the functioning of a
business venture including economy,
customers, employees, suppliers,
competitors, and government policies.
SETTING UP A BUSINESS
•ECONOMY includes the factors
such as inflation, employment,
income, and wealth that influence
the buying behavior of consumers
or other establishments e.g. if the
consumers lose their jobs, they
will spend less on recreation,
gifts, and luxury goods.
SETTING UP A BUSINESS
•CUSTOMERS in dressmaking business
might be someone who needs alterations of a
garment, requires sewing services for
attending a formal event such as prom or
wedding, or sports team who needs
uniforms. The buying power of your
customers depends on the quality and type
of your products or services, and whether
your advertising is really effective to
encourage your customers to buy from you
among others.
SETTING UP A BUSINESS
•EMPLOYEES are also important
factors in business’ success. If you are
not alone in running a business, you
might need to consider the capabilities
of your staff members. As an
entrepreneur you have to maintain a
good working relationship with your
employees because a single conflict
might ruin a good business.
SETTING UP A BUSINESS
•SUPPLIERS have a huge
effect on your business
cost. Therefore, you have
to negotiate and make a
good deal with them.
SETTING UP A BUSINESS
•COMPETITORS are also
important to consider in running a
business especially if the type of
business is not unique. For
instance, in dressmaking industry,
you have to deal with the
competition since this is already a
well-established industry.
SETTING UP A BUSINESS
•GOVERNMENT POLICIES can
have a great impact in your business.
A classic example in dressmaking
industry is smuggling of imported
textiles. The government does not
allow the entry of imported textiles
into the local market, without the
payment of appropriate taxes.
