Start your entrepreneur journey
Whether you're planning to run a bakery or develop a new app, taking the first step and establishing your own business is exciting. While you may look to external financial backing to help support your big idea, investing and building up your own funds can also be an option. You'll need to think about how much start-up capital you'll need and what money is necessary to maintain your lifestyle as you get things up and running.
Starting a business
Before you take the plunge and get your venture off the ground, you'll need to understand how much capital you require. A good place to start is working out your business’s potential fixed costs – such as stock, equipment, marketing, admin, technology, and insurance. However long it takes you to devise your master plan, investing and growing your start-up capital in a tax-efficient account will help you get ready to start your entrepreneurial journey.
Expanding a business
Most budding entrepreneurs want to take their ventures to the next level and there may be areas of your business that could benefit from a little upgrade. When it comes to expanding, self-funding is an attractive option for many and can be aided by investing in a tax-efficient manner.
Living expenses during the pre-revenue stage
Before the profits start rolling in, it's important to consider how you'll maintain your lifestyle. You'll need to make sure you have a pot of money that allows you to manage living expenses while your venture is getting off the ground. Investing ahead of time can help you build up funds to keep you going during your early entrepreneurial days.
