Starting up a new business

MoneyMakingTools

A few suggestions are;
1) you could get a job and save for the business. give yourself a year +, if your business plan is solid as you say it is, it will not really be a problem as to when you start the business. you could also use that time to learn more about the business and how to manage it.  Give your business a name, register it, and start branding.

2) find a business partner. someone who understands your plan and sees it becoming successful as you do. you could also go halves with them, that way you will not have to worry about the whole cost of the business.

3) speak to family and friends about the business. ask for a loan. (you never know who might find it interesting and decide to invest in it.

4) your business plan/proposal is everything. if you do not have a good business plan, you will most likely get disapproved by everyone. A business plan is a good way to explore the feasibility of a new business without actually having to start it and run it. A good plan can help you see serious flaws in your business concept. include things like Your basic business concept, Your strategy, and the specific actions you plan to take to implement it, Your products and services and their competitive advantages, The markets you'll pursue, The background of your management team and key employees, Your financing needs (cost of every single thing).

Just from my own experience I can tell you that this is a service in VERY high demand. My Mrs is pregnant and we have so far had 3 private scans and we were very glad for them. These are only available at 1 small, private clinic within a 40 mile radius of where we live. Getting an appointment is tricky, usually a 3-week wait.

The NHS do scans for all pregnancies of course, but only at 12 and 20 weeks unless they suspected something wrong. That is a long time to wait to see if your baby is doing ok, and they won’t do a scan just to find out the gender (16 weeks), even if you request it. They won’t do 4D scans either, where you can see a detailed 3-dimensional image of your baby’s face.

 They also were not allowing partners to attend until a few weeks ago, which caused huge stress for many women, as some had to hear the worst news regarding their unborn baby without any support from their partner who was forced to wait in the car. Imagine that!

The private clinic we attended charges approx £70 per scan, allows partners to attend and is staffed by sonographers who actually work in NHS hospitals while not in this clinic.

We will probably have another 3 or 4 reassurance scans before the birth of our baby, and £70 a go is well worth it for the piece of mind that everything’s fine, plus it’s super exciting to see your baby moving around in the womb.

The demand is most definitely there, no doubt about it. 

HOWEVER you’ll need much more than £15k in my opinion, and you’ll need someone with clinical qualifications and experience on your board.
