Startup advice – the first step to success

A successful startup needs strong and committed founders, a good idea and the right market to position their business. Yet, many businesses fail at the very beginning because they do not consider important aspects such as financing, legal form of the business and location. This is why it is so important to pave the right way for a successful business in the early phase.

Startup advice during all phases

Each startup runs through three phases: before founding the business it must be analyzed in phase one whether the concept has the potential to be successful.
The next phase is to prepare a business and a finance plan to attract investors. It is also important to early identify and assess potential risks to take appropriate countermeasures.

In the actual startup creation phase it must be determined how the startup is going to be financed: by a bank loan, through investors, crowdfunding or public funds. It must also be determined what legal form the business will have.
This decisions can have far-reaching consequences and should not be made without professional startup advice.

Startups should also seek and rely on professional advice during the growth phase.
Because, apart from managing operational tasks such as the financial and payroll accounting they must constantly work on the development of the business and prepare a potential national and international rollout. Furthermore, during the growth phase the business should establish a sound accounting department with a controlling team that can recognize how the business is doing and where there is potential for improvement by analyzing the KPI’s.
