Get Organised! Part I

When I had the idea of launching my own lifestyle management & concierge business, I didn't know where to start. There were so many things to check off the list and it can sometimes be overwhelming.

Starting Up does not have to be a mad panic. All you need is some simple steps to help you get organised!

Business Idea - clearly outline what issues/ problems your idea can solve for your potential customers. What challenges does it face? Include this in your business plan.

Forming a business name or structure - speak to an accountant and a lawyer to discuss what business structure best suits you. Do you intend to trade under multiple business names and have them all belong to a Holding Company? Find out what your options are and make a sound, well thought-through decision.

Setting up your office - Consider keeping cost down by having a home based business. If the nature of your business requires meeting clients at an office, there are many Virtual Offices you can pay to use their offices if you pre-book. This will keep your overhead cost down whilst still meeting clients in a professional office environment when needed. Virtual PA companies including Zentime business support can help with general admin. Explore and understand the different packages available and having a virtual PA can make your life a lot easier especially for start-up businesses.
