5 Tips Towards Building a Crisis-Proof Business

Faysal Sohail, the managing partner of CMEA Ventures, has some tips you should take into consideration for starting up in the internet business. All hope is not lost for startups, even with the economy being the way it is. If you take these tips into consideration, you might have a chance at succeeding with your online startup.

1.    Start with gap analysis. See what’s missing and aim to provide it. This is a surefire way to get noticed. If you fill in a gap, people are likely to flock to your service.  Don’t go for these, and you’ll be alright.
2.    Start with the exit multiple in mind. Avoid business ventures that won’t pay well. Go for things that in the future might look interesting to big buyers who will want to take them off your hands for hefty sums.
3.   Focus on “must have” products/features with large markets. In short, if you have something everyone wants, they’ll buy it. Don’t focus on things regular consumers won’t bother to look at.
4.    Look for existing sales channels. Don’t try to revolutionize the way people sell products. Go for what’s already there, this will save you money, and you’ll find consumers quickly.
5.    Look for strategic funding from corporate partners. That one is pretty self-explanatory. Strategic funding can let you worry about the more important things, not just how much money you have.
