How To Make A Successful Start In Manufacturing Business

Posted on September 6, 2012 | Leave a comment

Starting a manufacturing business may seem very exciting when you consider that you will be in charge of a lucrative setup, everything under your control and all accountability to yourself. But the road to success is travelled by a few. These are entrepreneurs who manage to take the right decisions, plan and manage risks well and work with a vision that not only takes the profit margins into account but other aspects like worker safety, product quality and environmental safety as well.

First Step: Trading
Though you may have set your sights on starting a manufacturing business but it will be smart for you to first trade in the products to know better about the right channels to trade in, competitors in the business, wholesale prices of the products and more.

Research
After you have tested the waters then go deeper to research about the products that will be manufactured by you. Know well about the raw materials & best places to source them, best manufacturing techniques, vendors, logistics, manufacturing standards to be met and safety regulations to be observed.

Create The Business Plan
Develop a proper business plan with complete details of what you plan to manufacture and how you intend to market it. Estimate the cost of start-up, operation and other expected costs related to material or manpower. This business plan will not only be handy when you need to get your project approved for financing but you’ll also need to show it to your landlord, vendors, accountant, lawyer and vendors.

Make The Plan Concrete
Then you need to have the right infrastructure in place. So start by gathering information on the local zoning laws and develop associations with people in the local planning commission so that you will have someone to guide you on the nitty-gritties. Know about the power and water supply requirements plus the storage and use of specific materials, building structure regulations, location advantages to start hunting for leasing agents.

After this, research about the right machinery required for manufacturing and find the right source to acquire it (on the basis of the cost of purchasing and cost of operation & maintenance, merits and demerits of the models, installation requirements etc.).

Have all the paperwork in place and updated from the concerned authorities before starting anything otherwise you may end up paying more than you had planned. It may take some time to get everything in place but it is surely worth the time and effort to make a successful start to a manufacturing business.

Posted on November 21, 2011 | Leave a comment

For those budding entrepreneurs in world of export, the term “Direct exporting” may seem quite obvious. But one may still wonder whether it is a good option. Well, here is a detailed description that offers you the pros and cons of direct exporting to help you make up your mind.

Direct exporting, as the name describes, is when you directly export products to a client. Hence, you are solely in charge of the various processes such as market research, distribution, and dispatch and payment collection.

Benefits

  • Customer relations : You get to know your clients and so are able to offer better services. The clients feel more confident and secure since they are directly dealing with you. Feedbacks and suggestions from them will be available instantly.
  • Profits : No intermediaries imply greater profits for you.
  • Control : You have total control over the negotiations and transactions. The patents, copyrights and trademarks are protected in a more effective way. Since the dealings are done personally, you also get a better sense of the market.
  •  Future Plans : You are open to several options for improvement and expansion. The future offers plenty of opportunities that are available for you to decide.

Drawbacks

  • Lack of Manpower : Building a client base requires people. Since you are exclusively in charge, every aspect of the business will demand your attention.
  • Lack of Resources : A business requires considerable amount of money, time and effort. You should give serious thought to whether you will be able to provide these adequately. It would be wise to have a detailed plan regarding aspects such as shipping, and delivery etc.
  • Reduced Customer Care : You may not be able to communicate back to clients as quickly as an agent. The business would also require online support if you are dealing in technical products. In that case, clients may also have technical questions that you must be prepared to answer.

After going through the various points, the balance of decision must have weighed down on one side. It is always advisable to do a detailed research of the present market trends and an analysis of one’s own capabilities before coming to a decision. After all preparation is the key to success.

International Trade: Boon For World Economy

Posted on November 17, 2011 | Leave a comment

Globalization has revolutionized many trade practices. Its consequence is the contraction of the world wherein various diverse countries are engaged in the exchange of products and services with each other. The international trade is facilitated by a country which is engaged in the selling of product or rendering of service, known as the exporter and the country which buys such product or avails such services is called Importer. International trade consists of two main factors which facilitates the control over trade:

  • Free trade:
    It eliminates all the limitations imposed on trade. Keen attention is paid to the demand and supply of products to facilitate smooth production process.
  • Protectionism:
    Executed in the form of tariffs and quotas, Protectionism is to impose appropriate guidelines which will ease the proper functioning of the market. This is done because the improper working of market can hamper the growth of international trade.

International trade has resulted in many benefits from all the aspects:

  • It has led to an increase in economic wealth: International trade has resulted in overall increased economic wealth of the nations which contributes to the economic development of the world as a whole.
  • Opportunity for countries to explore the offerings of other nations as well: Whether it concerns clothes, products, accessories etc., international trade helps a country make use of the resources of other countries for their own benefits.
  • Optimum utilization of resources of well heeled countries:Countries with rich resources can help the other resource-deficient countries by providing them high quality material at low costs. This act as beneficial to both the countries.
  • It increases the productivity of the country: International trade enhances the productivity of countries which eventually leads to improvement in world economy. The countries make appropriate use of their resources to serve other nations in a better way for mutual growth.

Trade has been a part of civilization for centuries but the way international trading is done now has made the world a ‘panacea’ once again which will bring in more benefits in the times to come.

Help Your Business Flourish With The International Trade Laws

Posted on November 14, 2011 | Leave a comment

To have a risk free business, adoption of certain laws and ethics is essential. In order to avoid unfair trade practices, implementation of certain laws became indispensible. Thus, all the Trade execution takes place under the regulation of International Trade Laws. These laws authorize trade between two companies or countries. Formulated by the World Trade Organization (WTO), these laws have lead to economic liberalization. The major aspects concerning such laws include:

What is Subsidy?
Subsidy refers to any financial payment, which a government makes for supporting a small business firm. A Subsidy comes with its own pros and cons.

Advantages:

  • Enhances competition amongst the traders.
  • Less expensive products for the end user
  • Facilitates trade protection

Disadvantages:

  • Industry becomes globally uncompetitive
  • Requires more protection

What is Tariff?
Tariff is a kind of trade barrier imposed by the national government. Though it secures the interest of the local competitors, it results in making the products expensive. The trade union is the most beneficial segment since their interests lie in the domestic industries.

Attempts made by WTO:
WTO has played a significant role in the smooth functioning of trade activities. Some of the contributions of WTO can be accounted as follows:

  • Protect excess subsidies or tariffs dumping
  • Provides a forum to solve and negotiate disputes
  • Minutely administers all the agreements
  • Ascertain transparencies of the trade policy
  • Evaluates all the trade policies
  • Offers technical training to developing and under developed countries
  • Reviews global trade on a regular basis
  • Acts as a core for all trade related economic research and evaluation

It is highly essential to have complete knowledge of the aspects and regulations in purview of these international laws. You can assure this by going through the annual publications as well as research reports of WTO.
