Here's how you can successfully launch an IT consulting startup.

Market research is a must-do first step for a new business. There was a shoe store - one for the area, and sales were low. One day another shoe store popped up nearby. And you know what? Sales began to grow. Because 1)people knew, that they would most probably purchase in one of the two stores; 2) the destination for shoe shopping became more popular. A shoe store was a good idea, but the market was not studied well enough. If there is no competition - most probably, your product or service will have no buyers. The second probability - you have a new product with high potential but low awareness, but this is a rare case. Then choose 1 or 2 unique features (bang-on, not terrific) of your value proposition to stand out from the crowd

O mundo das Startup, é muito dinamico, o que é muito positivo, no entanto se você n?o souber para onde deseja ir, este dinamismo pode acabar se tornando uma dor de cabe?a! Se você esta pensando em entrar para este Oceano AZUL, é muito importante levantar todas as informa??es antes, bem como definir exatamente: O que; Para quem; Como; Por que; Você quer entrar tal produto ou servi?o, 90% das Startups n?o tem sucesso, por n?o ter clareza do seu papel dentro do ecossistema! Em minha experiência de 10 anos, compreendi que ter clareza s?o do papel que desejo fazer minhas entregas, faz total diferen?a dentro deste OCEANO AZUL de possibilidades.

Erstmal sollte ein Marktanalyse get?tigt werden. Zus?tzlich ergibt es sinn - gerade in der Startphase - sich auf einen (oder wenige) vertikalen Markt zu beschr?nken. Sich als "wir k?nnen alles" zu positionieren ist erstens schwierig, denn man hat ja auch dann "jeden" als Wettbewerber und zweitens verl?uft man sich ggf. in Bereiche, in denen man gar nicht den Fokus setzen kann. Somit sollte man aus der Phase herausgehen mit der Antwort zur Frage: "Kennst du deinen Kunden?"

This will be your roadmap to success. Define your target market, outline the services you'll offer, detail your pricing strategy, and project your financial goals.

A business plan is a must-have for a new business. Without this plan, a business is like a ship without a compass or home port. Sailing but not arriving. Doing business but not getting results. Steps to start, scaling plan, where investment comes from, how expenses are planned, at what point revenue is generated, and at what point profitability is generated, and markets and audiences to sell to. Minimum to know before a business is started. Knowing how profitability is achieved is the key to either getting investments or winning a grant for a start-up.

Nach der Markt-/ Kundenanalyse ergibt es Sinn sich genau anzuschauen, welche Partner hole ich mir an Board. Mit wem kann man ggf. gemeinsam wachsen und/oder wer ist vielleicht etabliert, bringt mich aber nicht voran. Mit einem Netzwerk in der Hinterhand findet es sich schneller auch Investoren und es ist einfacher sogar am Netzwerk der Investoren neue Bereiche zu erreichen.

This will be your path to success. Define your target market, identify the services you will offer, detail your pricing strategy, and outline your financial goals.

The legal part of any business influences processes and financial part management. Depending on the legal structure, tax obligations will be defined. If you plan to work with third-party companies, or place orders with other companies and have any type of 2b2 partnership, make sure that your legal structure is a good one to organize tax obligations most effectively. IT Consulting is often a B2B type. Local laws may impose certain obligations, different in many countries and even areas of one country. This deserves a good study before a business is started.

Register your business, obtain necessary licenses and permits, and choose a business structure (sole proprietorship, LLC etc.).

Brand awareness is very significant. Often a small IT Consulting business starts with just one person - the owner. In this case, make sure you are a good brand. Your social media pages are accurate and demonstrate values familiar to your potential clients, for example. No stealth-mode profiles, comprehensive content will only help gain attention from target audiences. Landing page or website clearly explaining your offer, easy-to-get-to-you contacting tools. Testimonials if there are any positive ones.

Eine Markenentwicklung sollte immer auf einer gründlichen Recherche basieren. Es kann sehr kostspielig und unangenehm werden, wenn man nach den ersten erfolgreichen Schritten im Business seinen Namen ?ndern und m?glicherweise sogar eine Strafe zahlen muss. Sobald jedoch ein passender Name und ein Logo gefunden sind, sollten diese die eigenen Werte repr?sentieren. Es muss klar sein, wofür das Unternehmen steht. Zudem gibt es für verschiedene Branchen spezifische Farbschemata, die man aufgreifen kann, um den Kunden zu zeigen, dass man "aus der Branche" kommt.

Create a strong brand identity with a memorable name and logo. Create a professional website that showcases your skills and services. Connect with potential customers, attend industry events, and use online marketing tools such as social media and content marketing to build brand awareness.

People buy from people. Make sure that all the clients coming to your business will receive quality service at every stage - from initial contact and after they purchase anything. Business reputation can be lost quickly if your clients have bad experiences. IT Consulting business is mostly esteemed by the quality of proposal & price, speed, and quality of services delivered: software development or maintenance. 3 cornerstones here are speed, price, and quality. Success is more probable if one of these has higher priority for the client, and you know the grades for ok and unacceptable levels.
