It is often said that the hardest part of running a business is getting started. This may be true for people who may not have an entrepreneurial mindset. However, for seasoned entrepreneurs, this is often the easy part. All you need to do is reach out to a trusted business incorporation services firm, register your company, and congrats – your business is legally formed.
So, what is the hardest part for first-time entrepreneurs? This can be starting a business the right way. If you have decided to set up your business in Singapore, here are 4 important things you should consider.
1. The financials
Think about the financial impact of starting the business. If numbers are not your strength, reach out to firms offering accounting and bookkeeping services and get some help in drafting a financial plan. The plan should articulate how much you will need, how you will fund, and how long you can operate without factoring potential earnings. The plan will also include contingencies to help you plan for emergencies and other unforeseen costs.

2. Market analysis
Singapore is a free market economy and one of the best places to do business in the world. There are minimal barriers to enter or leave the market. While this is a positive for daring entrepreneurs, it is also a strong basis for caution.
Entrepreneurs must conduct a market analysis and have a thorough understanding of the competition before starting a business in Singapore. The analysis informs you about the opportunities and weaknesses in the market. It’s a monumental task that requires extensive data and specialised analysis skills. Thus, your best shot at getting a good outcome is by reaching out to outsourced accounting and bookkeeping services firms. They have the expertise and resources you require for your business.

3. Networking for your business
A well-considered financial plan and excellent market analysis will get you ready for business. However, who you know also matters in business. Pitching your products to the right people and in the right way is all it takes for a business to take off. To do this, you must have an audience to begin with.
You can join industry associations and participate in trade shows, but the best way is through personal introduction. Expand your network and meet other business leaders. They might go the extra mile and introduce you to key industry players and other important people in the industry who might help in your business growth.
4. Setting up your office
Before setting up your business in Singapore, you should consider where to establish your office. Despite the trend of remote working during COVID-19, the necessity of an office in business is undoubtedly essential. With safety in mind, the office space is an investment for generating and facilitating business.
