Marketing

How do I find my Niche?


Christy Norfleet

Entrepreneur

This may sound a bit naive however I always advise others to cultivate their "God given" talents first because I have learned that those are the talents that most people thrive while doing. I have learned that we often spend a lot of time attempting to learn or master things in order to best accomplish our goals. More often than not we were already in possession of the skills required to soar we simply choose to take the long route. Do what you feel so comfortable doing that it feels natural and you can't go wrong.

Which looks like a more promising: a video production and editing service or an Instagram marketing service?


Christy Norfleet

Entrepreneur

My advice to any business is to offer things which are being offered in addition to things that aren’t. Basically, what I mean is take your business and do something different with the process. I have an apparel line which offers unique custom designs however I offer them on many products for both businesses and individuals and I have a three day turnaround. I took several services offered by others and put a different spin on it to make it my own. Do the same with the three concepts you will steal the market☺️ Feel free to call for more information.

Capital Raising

How should I raise capital and structure funding?


Christy Norfleet

Entrepreneur

A company can issue common stock through an initial public offering (IPO) or by issuing additional shares into the capital markets. Either way, the money that is provided by investors that purchase the shares are used to fund capital initiatives. In return for providing capital, investors demand a return on their investment (ROI) which is a cost of equity to a business. The return on investment can usually be provided to stock investors by paying dividends or by effectively managing the company’s resources so as to increase the value of the shares held by these investors. One drawback for this source of capital funding is that issuing additional funds in the markets dilutes the holdings of existing shareholders as their proportional ownership and voting influence within the company will be reduced. Capital funding can also be gotten by issuing corporate bonds to retail and institutional investors. When companies issue bonds, they are in effect, borrowing from investors who are compensated with semi-annual coupon payments until the bond matures. The coupon rate on a bond represents the cost of debt to the issuing company. In addition, bond investors may be able to purchase a bond at a discount, and the face value of the bond will be repaid when it matures. For example, an investor who purchases a bond for $910, will receive a payment of $1,000 when the bond matures. Capital funding through debt can also be raised by taking out loans from banks or other commercial lending institutions. These loans are recorded as long-term liabilities on a company’s balance sheet, and decrease as the loan is gradually paid off. The cost of borrowing the loan is the interest rate that the bank charges the company. The interest payments that the company makes to its lenders is considered an expense in the income statement, which means pre-tax profits will be lower. While a company is not obligated to make payments to its shareholders, it must fulfill its interest and coupon payment obligations to its bondholders and lenders, making capital funding through debt a more expensive alternative than through equity. However, in the event that a company goes bankrupt and has its assets liquidated, its creditors will be paid off first before shareholders are considered. There are companies that exist for the sole purpose of providing capital funding to businesses. Such a company might specialize in funding a specific category of companies, such as healthcare companies, or a specific type of company, such as assisted living facilities. The capital funding company might also operate to only provide short-term financing and/or long-term financing to a business. These companies, such as venture capitalists, could also choose to focus on funding a certain stage of the business, such as a business that is just starting up.

Licensing

How do you go about structuring a licensing agreement?


Christy Norfleet

Entrepreneur

Licensing allows you to give suppliers, competitors or complementary businesses certain rights over your patent, while receiving royalty income and still retaining ownership of your asset. To be successful, a licensing arrangement should benefit all the parties involved. By acquiring rights to a patent, a licensee can: create new products, services and market opportunities for themselves reduce costs to acquire new technologies, without having to develop their own save time getting a new product to market gain competitive advantage over rivals, especially if their licence is exclusive If put into place correctly, licensing can be lucrative and mutually beneficial to both the patent and the licence holder. However, licensing can also increase potential competition and risks for both parties, so it's important to consider potential pitfalls. Disadvantages of licensing patents It can take a lot of effort and determination to find the right licensee. To give your product the greatest chances of success, you should put a lot of thought into evaluating potential licensees and structuring your licensing agreement. Other potential risks and downsides to patent licensing include: loss of control (partially or fully) over your invention relying on the licensee's ability to effectively commercialise your patent risk of poor strategy or execution damaging the product success poor quality management damaging your brand or product reputation In addition, by licensing out your product, you are effectively creating competition for yourself. You may try to limit the scope of the license as much as possible to avoid giving your competitors unnecessary advantage in the marketplace. Keep in mind that you will need to manage your relationship with the licensee carefully. If things go wrong, you may find yourself in disputes or needing to cover legal costs. Before you sign over any rights to your patent, it's worth doing due diligence checks on any potential licensees to assess their suitability and track record. If you decide to sell or license your patent, you should keep detailed records of any contracts or agreements you have made. Seek legal advice if in doubt.
