The other thing is another is improving on the existing products or service which is already available in the market. Improvements has to be continuous in terms the service or the product you offer.
Funding
Funding is an important aspect of your business success. Some businesses need very less capital whereas other might need lots of investment to invent or bring the product to the market. Identifying the source of capital and the cost of capital is very important. Everyone knows that debt is cheaper than equity. Before diluting your stake and raising investment from an angel investor or a venture capital investor try to find sources of debt funding at competitive interest rates.
Do not raise investment if not required. If funds are required don’t raise investment more than what’s requirement.
