Top 4 Challenges faced by Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs face many challenges in today’s ultra-competitive business world. Here are a few challenges faced by them discussed with proper solution on how to deal with them.

1. Cash flow management
The challenge-   Cash flow is essential to small business survival, yet many entrepreneurs struggle to pay the bills (let alone themselves) while they’re waiting for checks to arrive.
The solution-  Proper budgeting and planning are critical to maintaining cash flow, but even these won’t always save you from stressing over bills. One way to improve cash flow is to require a down payment for your products and services. Another strategy for improving cash flow is to require faster invoice payments. Invoice clients within 15 days, which is half the typical invoice period.


2. Hiring employees
 The challenge-  The hiring process can take several days of your time: reviewing resumes, sitting through interviews, sifting through so many unqualified candidates to find the diamonds in the rough. It's a dreadful process for the Entrepreneurs.
The solution:  Be exclusive.You can save yourself a ton of time by pre-qualifying candidates through exclusive help wanted ads that are ultra-specific in what it takes to be hired at your firm, as well as what the day-to-day work entails.

3. Choosing what to sell
The challenge- You know you could make a mint if you just knew what products and services to sell. You’re just unsure how to pick a niche.
The solution- Conduct market research and create a report with suggested niches, backed by potential profit margins and a complete SWOT analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

4. Capital
The challenge- You want to start or grow your business, but you have little capital to do it with.
The solution- There are many ways to earn funding, from traditional bank loans to family and friends.Instead of trying to launch a multi-million dollar corporation overnight, focus on your initial core customers. Continually work to find new customers, of course, but consistently strive to be remarkable to those customers you already serve.make sure you’re not giving up too much of your business to get it.

Countries that are classified as “developing” have permissions to export certain goods to the U.S. without being hit by heavy legal tariffs that are bind to be imposed on goods from “developed” countries.
