The 7 Key Factors Needed in a Successful Business to be Strong

1/ Trends

The business needs to be at the start or at least the front of a trend, never at the end of a trend.

2/ Products

The products need to be well placed in the marketplace, be value for money, which includes the perceived value for money.

3/ Company

Most of all the company/business needs to be well structured and funded. Including effective and efficient systems, plus checks and balances for all departments.

4/ Income

The company/business needs to generate income in a timely manner and make enough gross and net profit.

An example of poor timely income would having all your money coming in on accounts that run out to 120 days. While your raw products, wages etc may need to be paid either before you get them or within a very close time frame.

Payment before delivery and or substantial deposit paid before work is started on a project creates timely income. As the saying goes ‘Cash Flow is King’

5/ People

Businesses need to have the right people doing the right jobs. It needs a good staff culture, rather than staff always changing. As a result, they are making a profit on time spent, rather than wasting extensive resources retraining new people. Good staff culture lowers absenteeism, sickies etc.

6/ Support

All companies/businesses need to have an efficient customer service department. Including feedback that is acted on.

7/ Stewardship

The company/business needs good leadership. It has to be strong, with defined strategies and goals. These also need to be clear to employees and customers.

If you have these 7 Key Factors in the company/business you either want to buy, join or affiliate with, you have a much better chance of success.
