9 Tips for Entrepreneurship - by a Swiss Lawyer

You're on your way to becoming an entrepreneur, and we are here to provide you with our expertise. Together, we will overcome the challenges from the initial business idea to a successful company. To increase your chances of success, consider the following points:

Start by clarifying essential questions, as a solid business idea forms the foundation of a successful business venture. Your idea can either be innovative or a new approach to an existing idea. Transitioning from an employer to self-employment is also possible.

  1. Ideally, possess industry experience, as entrepreneurs with industry knowledge tend to have above-average success compared to industry newcomers.

  2. Self-confidence and strong determination are qualities of successful business founders. You are willing to work hard, sacrifice vacations, and persist in your idea despite doubts. With an optimistic mindset, you can better manage changes and setbacks.

  3. The business plan serves as your guide to building the company. It should be regularly updated to align with current developments, allowing for a systematic approach to identify and address potential issues. Feel free to utilize our free business plan template or seek our advice.

  4. When it comes to financial control, avoid underestimating costs, even if you have limited financial resources. Business knowledge will help you respond quickly and keep an eye on finances and liquidity.

  5. A clear marketing concept is crucial for your long-term success as an entrepreneur. The better you understand how to bring your product or service to market, the greater your chances of success. Invest in marketing seminars or let us inform you about the possibilities.

  6. Always keep an eye on maintaining a competitive edge, regardless of the quality of your business idea. Regularly assess the market and competition, plan ahead, develop improvements, and implement them. Be proactive rather than merely reacting to competitors.

  7. The support of experienced managers can enhance your effectiveness. Financiers, lawyers, or successful entrepreneurial colleagues can provide valuable assistance and open doors that would otherwise remain closed. Ask our business plan team for suitable contacts in your industry.

  8. Build a network for collaborations since nobody is an expert in all fields. Collaborations provide additional expertise. Participate in networking workshops to learn effective networking skills. Additionally, we have excellent contacts in the dynamic Swiss startup scene. Benefit from them!

  9. Perseverance is essential for the path to entrepreneurship. Starting a new venture is a marathon that is challenging to accomplish without external support. Focus on your startup while we take care of the administrative tasks involved in company formation. We and our partners support you before, during, and after the startup phase, addressing aspects such as planning, financing, legal, tax, and insurance matters.

Rest assured, even without implementing all of these tips, success is still possible. We are happy to assist you on your journey to self-employment. Contact us today for a free initial consultation.
