Are You Starting A Business?
“It’s paramount to us that we help you along the challenging process of gaining clarity in your goals.”
Starting a business is most certainly an adventure, although a complicated one. As exciting as it is seeing your vision come to life, the road to getting a business up and running can be a bumpy one, especially without professional guidance along the way.
Starting a business entails finding solutions to a whole host of issues you’ve probably never had to deal with before. From financing and legal matters to registration and market research, it’s a commitment that entrepreneurs oftentimes underestimate. It’s a project that requires significant amounts of focus, time and effort in order to flourish into a successful and profitable venture.
At Geeky Marketing, our business consultants closely guide you from the very first steps of building a concept and choosing a name, all the way to making your first profit as a newly established business.
Developing &
Refining Your Idea
A successful business starts with a good idea, and a good idea is based on providing solutions for the common problems people face. If you’re thinking about starting a business, it’s likely that you already have an idea of the market you wish to enter, or better yet, the service or product you want to offer.
We start by getting to know your vision and use our expertise to further develop and refine it. We conduct thorough market research to determine how we can help you stand out amongst brand leaders in your industry. By delivering on key points that your competition lacks, we can then move onto establishing a solid business plan. We want you to do better.
Creating
Your Roadmap
To get good answers, you need to ask good questions. What is the purpose of your business? What products or services will you provide? How will you add value to your customers’ lives? How will you cover the costs of starting up?
We will help you establish this base in the beginning stages of your venture for maximized efficiency on the road ahead.
Determining a Legal
Business Structure
Before naming and registering your business, you need to determine its entity type. The entity you select for your business is a key factor in how your business survives and operates going forward. It affects everything from liability if an employee gets hurt on the job, to how you file taxes and the profit you make.
Knowing the legal, operational and financial implications of a chosen structure, we will help you choose the most beneficial entity for optimal success.
Exploring Financing
Options
Starting a business comes with a price tag. Before you move further along in your business venture, you need to determine how you will cover the associated costs. Do you have the means to fund it? Will you need to borrow money from the bank? Are you planning to quit your job to focus on your business full time? If so, it’s important to have enough money set aside to support yourself until your business turns a profit.
We are well-aware of how stressful the financial side of starting a business can be, which is why your peace of mind is so important to us. Together, we will discuss the most optimal way of paying for the initial costs of your startup.
How It Works
Naming Your Business
A business’ name plays a significant role in its success, and selecting a good one, is not as easy as it seems. A name that already exists, has negative meaning in another language or is related to something troublesome can create unconquerable legal obstacles.
With thorough research across the online landscape, our team comes up with creative, simple and practical names. We conduct trademark, domain and competitor research to ensure the long-term health of your business. Most importantly, we love coming up with a name that you and your employees will be proud to represent.
Developing Your Brand
Professional branding is an investment, not a cost. It’s your identity – the visual that communicates to the world what you’re all about.
Our multifaceted team of graphic designers, web designers and web developers help you bring your vision to life. If you don’t already have a vision, we’ll illustrate one that fits your story, goals and purpose. To see the work we’ve done for clients in the past, check out our portfolio
