To foster growth with minimal disruption, every business needs to have a few key things in place.

 

Core Structure 

This is the set up of the business and everything that is required for the business to operate.

  • A trading vehicle which is suitable from personal and familial perspectives;

  • An investment holding structure which is flexible enough for future growth and additional funding if required;

  • Mechanisms which minimise internal conflicts between the directors and shareholders/unitholders;

  • A fair exit mechanism which allows business partners to “cash in” their investment with as little disruption to the business as possible;

  • Clear rules for participants to ensure that good faith is observed to prevent future disuptes;

  • Risk management strategies to deal with financiers, landlords and other suppliers of IT requirements of the business (webdesigners, the franchisor (if it is a franchised business), the licensors (of technical knowhow, branding or other intellectual property rights);

  • Necessary permits and licences to carry on the business;

  • Insurances both mandatory and voluntary.

 

Marketing

  • A distinctive brand which is protected under Intellectual Property laws;

  • A network of distributors/agents/franchising stores;

  • Alliance with related industry partners.
