Sculpt your business dreams into a tangible business entity

Before approaching Nedbank for the finance that will help you realise your business dreams, it's essential to know exactly what your requirements are. During the initial planning phase you may find it helpful to ask yourself a few critical questions: What type of business/legal entity would suite me best? When deciding the form of the business you'd prefer to register, eg a close corporation, partnership or company, you need to have a clear understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of each, the tax implications and so on. The Nedbank Small Business Management Guide on our website www.nedbank.co.za will assist you in this regard. Do I have a comprehensive business plan? Writing a business plan is an important exercise that forces you to consider the opportunities and challenges of your prospective business venture, giving you realistic goals to work towards.

 What are my financial needs? Your business plan should give you a good indication of your financial requirements with regard to startup capital, running costs, etc. Only once you fully appreciate the exact scope of your financial requirements can you start planning on how you'll acquire the necessary funds to start and run your business. Do I have the funds I require? Keep in mind that, depending on the nature of the new business venture, you may be required to contribute between 10% and 25% of the startup money from your own funds.

Omvorm jou sakedrome in 'n tasbare besigheidsentiteit

Voordat jy Nedbank nader vir die finansiering wat jou sal help om jou sakedrome te verwesenlik, is dit noodsaaklik om te weet presies wat jou behoeftes is. In die aanvanklike beplanningsfase is dit dalk nuttig om jou 'n paar deurslaggewende vrae af te vra: Watter soort besigheid/regsentiteit sal my die beste pas? Wanneer jy besluit oor die vorm van die besigheid wat jy wil registreer, byvoorbeeld 'n beslote korporasie, vennootskap of maatskappy, moet jy 'n deeglike begrip van die voor- en nadele van elk, die belastingimplikasies en dies meer h. Die Nedbank-kleinbesigheidbestuursgids op ons webwerf sal jou in hierdie verband help. Het ek 'n omvattende sakeplan? Die skryf van 'n sakeplan is belangrik en dwing jou om die geleenthede en uitdagings van jou beoogde besigheidsonderneming te oorweeg en gee aan jou realistiese doelwitte om na te streef.

 Wat is my finansile behoeftes? Jou sakeplan behoort aan jou 'n goeie aanduiding van jou finansile behoeftes met betrekking tot aanvangskapitaal, bedryfskoste, ens te gee. Eers nadat jy 'n volledige begrip van jou finansile behoeftes het, kan jy die verkryging van die nodige fondse om die besigheid te begin en te bedryf begin beplan. Het ek die fondse wat ek nodig het? Hou in gedagte dat, na gelang van die aard van die nuwe sakeonderneming, daar van jou verlang kan word om tussen 10% en 25% van die aanvangsgelde uit jou eie fondse by te dra.
