Start up your company.
You have tied the knot and want to go into business. In order to do that, you have ideas enough and adrenaline is coursing through your veins. You are determined to create something beautiful. And then what? How do you turn the idea into a tight plan to start up your company and how does this plan become a reality?

The gap in the market!
Of course you also dream of discovering the gap in the market. That one product or that cool app that no one has yet invented. Despite the many companies in the world, you still see these brilliant initiatives every year. Sometimes it's a hunch, but more often it's hard work, thinking and trying a lot. A method that can help you with this is the Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim.
You specifically look for those places in the market where you can add value for the customer and yourself as an entrepreneur through innovation and/or cost reduction. In stead of fighting with the compatition you are creating a new marketspace by yourself.
Why should I start up my own company?
'Think first' certainly applies to starting your own business. You may be giving up the security of a permanent job for it. Realize that running your own business is hard work, the income is often low, especially at the start, and there is a lot involved. What helps is to think for yourself and write down why you want to start your own business. Talk to friends and acquaintances about it and think about what changes this will bring to your life. An impulsive action has its charms and sometimes leads to surprising results. But for the average aspiring entrepreneur it is still wise to think about it carefully and then make a conscious choice.

Start up your company: a checklist.
We are happy to provide you with a checklist. For once you've made the decision to actually start up your company:
-
Business plan
Writing a business plan is not compulsory, but it helps to make your plans concrete and understand the costs of your plan. Your own Venture has a number of online tools to create the plan for your business quickly, compactly and in cooperation with your team.
-
Market research and strategy
By conducting market research and determining your strategy, you lay the foundation for your company.
-
Financial plan
When drawing up a financial plan, you make a forecast of the turnover you expect to be able to achieve. You then determine on the basis of this which costs are expected to be incurred and what the associated cash flows look like. This provides insight into the financing needs of your company.
-
Company name
It should be unique, appealing and easy to remember. You should also check at this stage whether the desired internet address is still available.
-
Legal form
The legal form you choose will determine the taxes you have to pay, your start-up benefits and your liability.
-
Bookkeeping
Keeping your records is a must for yourself, but it is also important for the tax authorities. After all, you are legally obliged to do so.
-
General terms and conditions and insurances
When you start up your business, you will not be working for an employer. It is therefore important that everything is well organised. Think of good insurance if you fall ill, but also of building up your pension. Make sure you develop suitable standard contracts for your company.
-
Legal requirement
Some companies in certain sectors are subject to strict regulations. Check carefully which business and professional requirements you need to meet and which permits you need to apply for.
-
Chamber of Commerce
It is compulsory to register your company with the Chamber of Commerce when you start a business.
