Before starting a business, we must first have enough entrepreneurial resources, including the entrepreneur's own personal ability, experience and experience, professional expertise and other factors; External resources include capital, projects, materials, social relations, personnel combination and other elements that entrepreneurs need, and capital is an important factor. It is not surprising that the lack of funds is a common phenomenon and normal for first-time entrepreneurs. However, it is not impossible to start a business without enough funds, which requires some measures to make up for it. Below, I will introduce you to several ways of starting a business under the condition of insufficient funds: 1, work first, start a business later, accumulate funds, and start a business in a curve: for many entrepreneurs, many people are unwilling to work, afraid of hardship, tired, not free, suspected that their majors are not right, and so on; In fact, I think part-time job should be the first step in your business plan. In addition to accumulating a lot of experience and experience necessary for starting a business at work, you can also accumulate funds needed for starting your own business purposefully and in a planned way. However, you should know very well in your heart that the purpose of your part-time job is not just to make money, but to make preparations for starting a business. With this idea, I think you will no longer be troubled by the disadvantages of work, but will calm down and enjoy the fun of work. In this purposeful work process, you can not only earn some money, but also do better: because as time goes by, the closer you are to starting a business, once the time is ripe, you can quit your job and start a business calmly! 2. Be an agent, do distribution, borrow channels skillfully, and start a business in a roundabout way: many entrepreneurs have worked as salesmen and salesmen in enterprises. You can use your own specialties to borrow some suitable channels to be agents or distributors of products before starting a business, and accumulate the experience and financial resources needed for starting a business in this process; Many people may think that to be a product agent of an enterprise, you must have a lot of money. In fact, this idea is completely wrong. As long as you have the right method and are good at borrowing various channels, you can be a product agent or distributor for an enterprise without funds. Method 1: You will find that products that are popular in other places or have great market potential are still sold in your local or surrounding markets, which is an opportunity; You can get in touch with the supplier of this product through the internet or telephone, get some pictures or even a few physical samples of this product through your own negotiation with the other party, and reach an agreement with the supplier on the regional agency or distribution of this product in your local area (you can make an oral agreement first), so that you are the authorized agent or distributor of this product in your local area; (Borrow enterprise channels and product channels) Next, you should be familiar with the product in the shortest time, and then use your familiarity with the local people and some available social relations (borrow regional advantages and social relations channels) to start looking for real agents and distributors of the product in the local or surrounding markets as agents of the product, and launch a clever commercial offensive against them until these merchants promise to deliver the goods (Note: the merchant's capital channel is borrowed, and they deliver the goods in cash. In this way, through your efforts, you can get the agency commission or price difference of the products. On this basis, you can further improve the cooperation agreement with suppliers, and continue to assist your developed businesses to do a good job in product marketing and the construction of lower-level distribution networks in order to obtain a larger sales market and more income; With more experience and understanding, you can follow suit and launch many products in this way. If a person is not energetic enough, he can hire one person, and one person is not enough. With funds and personnel, you can start your own business and formally enter the entrepreneurial journey. Special note: it's not that easy to do! According to the different situations of entrepreneurs, the difficulties and problems encountered in the operation process are different, and there may be many! But don't be afraid, I believe I have a way to overcome and solve it! Really can't. Welcome to the "Idea Business Department" of Ali Venture Alliance, and bring the existing problems to us for you to solve! Method 2: Similarly, on the basis of method 1, you will find that there are many excellent products in your place and around you, and some of these products are due to the lack of enterprise strength, some are due to the lack of information, and some are due to the lack of marketing ability. Due to various reasons, good and excellent products have been delayed in opening foreign markets, which undoubtedly gives you a very favorable opportunity! What you still need to do is to obtain the regional distribution rights of these products and establish a cooperative relationship with enterprises (note that you are not only a salesman of this factory or a salesman of products, but a regional distributor, which is cooperation, not ownership). After understanding the product, you can start working; In this way, if you are authorized by the enterprise (such as the general distribution of XXX products, the sales manager of XXX enterprise, or even the sales manager of XXX enterprise, provided that you are authorized by the enterprise), you can start work in the name of the enterprise. You can find and find some agents or distributors suitable for this product through the network, and friends or netizens in the target area even go to the target area in person at the first time to develop the agents or distributors of products through their own ability or the assistance of others, and get their due expenses and profits in the delivery process; The whole process is a process of borrowing other people's channels. The difficulty of this way is that the dealers are all from other places and are unfamiliar with people and places. You need a good way to develop dealers. At this time, you can also use online marketing and influence like us. At the beginning, we must not be greedy for great achievements, but need to break them down one by one. As long as you have a few powerful merchants in your hands, all the work will be carried out very well, and it may take a long process. In this way, if you meet some friends who are interested in homosexuality in the target market of the product and cooperate with them, the chances of successful profit will be more than doubled, which fully embodies the advantages of alliance cooperation. No matter which way is adopted, entrepreneurs must adhere to the principle of "honesty-oriented". We can only borrow channels skillfully and solve problems on our own. In this process, you can know a lot of enterprises and friends with your sincerity, so as to establish long-term and lasting cooperative relations. Never cheat in the name, or you may lose more than you gain. 3, small business, make big money, many a mickle makes a mickle, and start a business steadily: at present, some entrepreneurs have no time to start a business, saying that they have not found the opportunity to make big money; This is because their mentality is unfair and they are wholeheartedly looking for opportunities for overnight violence, which is euphemistically called "finding a good project"; Here, kindly remind everyone that there is no such opportunity, there is, and it is not for you. Come back as soon as possible, since childhood! Everyone has heard the story of Qingdao girl Zhang Jing, right? Do you want to do pillow business before she grows up? Will you attach importance to this project? Her success has actually given us a good enlightenment: "small business" can also make big money, or it can be made into "big business". The key is whether you do it with your heart or not! In terms of never earning the previous amount, there are many small businessmen and vendors around you, all doing businesses that entrepreneurs don't even want to see, with little capital. I know that some fishmongers with millions of assets have never spent more than 5,000 yuan since they started their business. Here, I'm not saying you want to sell fish, but you have to admit that there are millions, millions or even tens of millions of "antiques" among them, but they may not have the consciousness of reinvesting and expanding. As an intentional entrepreneur, why can't we accumulate and obtain venture capital in a purposeful and planned way? There is a food enterprise in Sichuan with assets exceeding 1 100 million yuan (it should be the industry leader in Sichuan now). A few years ago, the boss was just a small vendor who couldn't even afford to rent a store. At first, he could only buy some local products through relatives and friends from other places and sell them in some local shops, with only a few hundred yuan. He was frugal, frugal and painstaking. Gradually, he can buy more and better local products by himself, and he can also put the products into large supermarkets and food shopping malls for sale. With experience, a certain amount of capital accumulation and friends from all over the world, he began to send local native products to other places to sell; Over time, he registered his own brand trademark and began to entrust others to "brand" his products. After a period of development and careful management, he founded his own company and set up his own food processing factory. He didn't stop there. As his products are sold to all parts of the country and foreign markets, he also began to establish a sales network and planned to open chain stores nationwide. Then he merged several powerful similar enterprises in the case that the product was in short supply. How many people are willing to be a small trader like him, from a small trader to an entrepreneur today, from a few hundred dollars at the beginning to hundreds of millions of assets now? How many entrepreneurs can go on step by step with clear goals like him? Don't be too small, try to be big with small, money and experience are accumulated through continuous efforts; You can't wait, you can't find it, and only by doing it step by step can you achieve your entrepreneurial goal! Guys, projects and opportunities are right around you. Let's get started! 4. Seek the strengths of others, make up for your own shortcomings, cooperate in alliances, and start a business immediately: both alliances and cooperation have advantages and disadvantages, but as far as entrepreneurs are concerned, the advantages of adopting cooperative alliances outweigh the disadvantages; The shortage of funds is a common phenomenon among entrepreneurs, and it is also the biggest headache for everyone. Many entrepreneurs suffer from lack of funds, have not knocked on the door of entrepreneurship, and there is no better way to solve it, so they can only sigh! At this time, working together with some people who are willing to know comrades will be the best way to solve the problem! Everything, just money. In order to start a business right away, you can use your existing resources to cooperate with friends with funds at this time, and everyone's resources complement each other and benefit each other, and enter the entrepreneurial industry simultaneously. You might say that such a partner is hard to find. It is possible that no one is willing to take out hard-earned money to cooperate with others easily. He will be very careful, very alert and even afraid. In this case, you can't blame others for their cowardice or their lack of vision. The problem is all on yourself. Encountering such a situation shows that others don't know enough about you and the resources you have; At this time, you should patiently, seriously and meticulously sort out all the entrepreneurial resources you have, sincerely show them to each other, impress him with your ability and sincerity, and prove that you are willing to cooperate with him sincerely, and that you have completely owned other entrepreneurial resources except funds! It is not enough to rely on some simple persuasion and the introduction of several advantageous projects! In Ali, there are many entrepreneurs who have funds and seek cooperation on such a big platform, but you don't let others feel your advantages and sincerity; What's more, needless to say, there will be more such people around you! If a startup project needs 200,000 yuan to start, there are 10 people who want to do it, but for those who can only pay 20,000 yuan, no one can do it alone. In the absence of a better way, it is undoubtedly the best way to unite this 10 people to do it together. Alliance entrepreneurship and complementary resources can shorten the reserve period of a large number of entrepreneurial resources, and immediately enter the entrepreneurial state, depending on whether friends have the confidence and ability to find entrepreneurs who can complement their own resources! Many well-known enterprises have developed in this way, and Ma Yun of Alibaba is no exception!
