Is It Your Season?

If not, can you start your business around it? If the answer to both of these is no, then you may need to wait. Of course, if you only have yourself to worry about you may be willing to sacrifice and eat only beans or ramen noodles, or whatever must be sacrificed to make the finances work. It is unlikely, however, that you are willing to make that sacrifice for your family. If you do not have the means to make ends meet without your current job, you may need to save up a little until you can. 

 

 

Is your credit good enough? Do you have the needed collateral? Do you now or will you later qualify for funding under a small business loan for women or a women business startup loan? The type of funding you can qualify for or whether or not you qualify for any funding at all can all depend on the timing.

 

 

Are you sure people want what you are selling? If the demand is there, you want to jump in before someone else does. If you are not sure, you may need to do a little research first, and maybe even create a little demand. Build a name for yourself and for your product or service with word of mouth marketing and free samples.
