00:00:20auditing consulting payroll other

00:00:22services for small to medium enterprises

00:00:24we will provide advice and science by

00:00:27using financial and non-financial models

00:00:29which are not used very often and the

00:00:31government is encouraging people to do

00:00:33their own businesses here please provide

00:00:35these suggestions think in advance

00:00:36regards derivative so daram some advice

00:00:40for you congratulations want to set up

00:00:41your business source well it’s great

00:00:42news when I would first do is start

00:00:45talking to potential customers and see

00:00:47where the need is and what they’re

00:00:48willing to pay you for the best way to

00:00:50build the business is around the

00:00:51customer you have money coming to the

00:00:53door you’re solving a real problem so

00:00:55start talking some of these

00:00:56entrepreneurs and see how you might fit

00:00:57the mold they may not need all your

00:00:58services and you may find that one

00:01:00service does really well compared to the

00:01:02others you’ll probably find send you

00:01:05going up to small and medium companies

00:01:06you’ll probably find better success with

00:01:08the median companies in the small

00:01:09because a new entrepreneur doesn’t need

00:01:12payroll services and doesn’t need the

00:01:15ceiling too much accounting services

00:01:16they don’t have staff right so why would

00:01:18you need pero serves you have any step

00:01:20so you’re your best guys are gonna be

00:01:22with growing companies who don’t have

00:01:25all the operational structure under them

00:01:27and can use your services to help them

00:01:28take them to the next level the next

00:01:30thing I try to do is focus on what is

00:01:32your unique value proposition so what do

00:01:34you have to offer that nobody else has

00:01:36to offer what makes you special because

00:01:38there’s a lot of accountants out there

00:01:40right so what is it that you’re going to

00:01:42do that’s different and what intrigued

00:01:44me about your emails were saying you use

00:01:45financial non-financial models that are

00:01:47not very frequently used so what are

00:01:50those models you can you brand them from

00:01:51you

00:01:52excited about them and can you promote

00:01:54it as in entrepreneurs you know magic

00:01:56bullet secret weapon that they can use

00:01:58to grow their business and beat their

00:02:00competitors because they’re using these

00:02:01models and you develop that other people

00:02:03haven’t really taken into account and so

00:02:05thinking about how you’re going to

00:02:06differentiate yourself and using some of

00:02:08those models might help you the third

00:02:10bit of advice you said that the

00:02:12government is really trying to encourage

00:02:14people to want to start their own

00:02:15business and get entrepreneurship up to

00:02:17the next level I’m curious is there

00:02:19might be a way to use that and partner

00:02:21up with the government have them

00:02:22introduce you to some of these

00:02:24entrepreneurs does any government

00:02:26centers of entrepreneurs are going to

00:02:27the government looking for help or

00:02:29resources if you can get known as an

00:02:32expert for entrepreneurs and

00:02:34medium-sized businesses then whenever

00:02:36these government agencies are seen

00:02:38people come in the door that need help

00:02:40that are growing and don’t have the

00:02:42operational structure and they see that

00:02:43they need someone to help them with

00:02:44their payroll and accounting then they

00:02:46can introduce you so traffic getting in

00:02:49good spirits with with the government

00:02:51workers and see if they might be able to

00:02:53help you introduce you to different

00:02:54entrepreneurs who might need your

00:02:55services so I hope that helps if you
