Starting A Small Business? Do It In Style With a Manhattan Virtual Office!

You’ve decided it’s time to step up and into your own small home based business – but you want to make sure you get it right so you don’t suffer financially, right? It’s common knowledge that many small business start-ups fail quite quickly, and home based businesses are no exception. There are many reasons why home based businesses fail. Here are just two things that can contribute to the failure of a home based business:

Inability to attract clients – particularly corporate ones – due to a perception of the business as a small home based operation;
Poor customer service including a failure to respond to prospective clients in a timely and professional manner, leading to a loss of business;

If you’ve done your market research and you’re confident you have sufficient funds to survive the early growth stages of your business you’re well on the way to success. The next step is to ensure that your business appears professional and that you’re able to attract good clients and communicate with them in a professional manner. A Manhattan virtual office from VH International Business Solutions can help you with that – and from as little as a month!

With a Manhattan virtual office you can:

Have a physical Manhattan office address for your business. The address can be used on your business cards and clients can send mail to you at the address. Any walk in clients will be able to leave a message for you at our staffed reception area.
Have a Manhattan telephone number. Calls to your Manhattan virtual office number can be forwarded to you or to a message bank. Alternatively, you can arrange to have a live operator answer all your calls during business hours and take messages personally.
Arrange meetings or presentations at your Manhattan location – VH International Business Solutions has meeting rooms and offices available for short term hire at inexpensive rates. That means that when you need to be “at the office” physically, you can be.

You might be years away from being able to afford office rental in Manhattan – and perhaps you don’t aspire to that at all – but a Manhattan virtual office can give you many of the benefits of a great office address without the expense, or the need to travel to the office!

Starting a Supply Chain

No comments · Posted by admin in General

If you have dreamed of owning your own business, whether operating wholly online or setting up a physical warehouse of goods, you can appreciate the hard work and planning involved to make your venture a success. For entrepreneurs interested in retailing or wholesaling goods – be it sports equipment, antiques, clothing, and even food – the idea of “buy low, sell high” likely rings strong in the forefront of your mind. To achieve profits, one must find affordable product to sell at a good price in order to earn that margin. If you are serious about business, international trade is one consideration to weigh as you search for product.

According to Entrepreneur magazine, companies in the United States alone imported over one trillion dollars worth of goods from around the world, and exported almost as much to over one hundred nations! When you think of the contacts and deals made daily, that is an impressive level of shipping and purchasing! Should you choose to import goods to sell in a virtual or brick and mortar shop, you will need to establish a strong supply chain to ensure what you receive to sell is worth the time and effort to ship to you.

As much international business is sparked via the Internet, one step to take involves going where you’re most likely to find traders, like a global trade forum. Here you will meet representatives of manufacturers from all over the world, some who supply whole goods outright, and others who develop the materials needed to create items. Depending on your desire to purchase intact product or assemble parts in-house, it’s good to research every potential trader you see to know how they can benefit you.

Building a supply chain involves good communication – if you feel a language barrier could get in the way of negotiations, be sure to find a good translator or representative who speaks your language. Gather pricing and shipping information on all suppliers, learn what fees they handle and what responsibilities you are expected to keep. If what you desire to market requires the cooperation of more than one company to achieve, look for a way to work together, to properly link those chains.

Once you have established the link that leads the exporter to your business, you must next build links to the businesses and customers to whom you will sell. If you handle wholesale goods, your next task is to meet with potential buyers interested in your product. Retail department stores, independent boutiques, and drop-ship online retailers may each require specific conditions before working with you, so it’s good to establish first how you will ship items (directly to customers or via the business), and how often you will satisfy standing orders.

Running a business that relies on international trade isn’t necessarily one that can be done alone. Your success requires various skills for communication, negotiation, and quality control that necessitates bringing on the right people for your team. Less positions like representatives to monitor any supply chain forums you subscribe to can help you make new contacts.

Above all else, choose the line of business for which you have great passion. Deal with what you love, and your enthusiasm will help your company grow.
