Startup Essentials

Funding your startup with a Startup Loan. Private Investment or a bank loan is a whole lot easier if you have your ducks in a line and are ready to answer questions about your business idea from the start as this will show the investor, bank or funding body that you know your business inside out, how to take it to market and their money is safe in your hands. Think about that when you are getting ready to apply for funding. They need to know that their money is safe in your hands, that you will spend it wisely and give them back a little more than they gave you within the agreed times.  To achieve this you need a Startup Business Plan as a bare minimum with financial projections and costs. If you are looking for investment, then you need a Startup Pitch Deck and the big question that any funder will want to know and how you are going to attract customers and sell products. If yo have this nailed already, then that’s great. But if you need some help, here are our guides and yips to get your startup business information right. There might be a template or two.

Being in London gives you access to lots of people and businesses. But these days unless you are supplying a personal service such as hair dressing or restaurants etc, then you can supply your products and services to anyone, anywhere in the world.  So you can open your startup from home or in an office anywhere in the country and deliver services and products to customers all over the world and get paid online.

The Startup Factory launches in April 2024 and we are using all of the products that we include in this website. So far, we have around 25 startup businesses that have heard about what we are doing and have found us already, We'll keep this number updated frequently so you can see just how popular The Startup Factory is with new businesses.

Absolutely, a startup business plan is essential for any new business. The first 12 months of any business are exciting because it is all new. While it's true that every plan needs to be adapted, starting out with no plan is foolish. Afterall, a failure to plan is a plan for failure. A sensible business plan will hep you set realistic goals and milestones and allow you to make refinements. Our partners at Novigo are commercial writers and will help you write a business plan that will help you get funded and an Investment deck that resonates with investors and banks.  

When you register with us for a Free Business Bank Account and Free Limited Company, we receive a small fee from the bank for introducing you. We take that fee and use it to pay our trusted partners at 121 Digital Marketing to reserve your domain name build you a simple business website so the world knows that you are up and running and ready to go. They can usually get you up and running in a day or two, depending on how quickly you can provide the information they need about your business. 

They normally charge £499.00 plus £50 / Month but for The Startup Factory clients, they have gracefully waived the upfront fee when you choose one of their customisable ready to startup websites. It’s a bit like Wix, except they do all of the work for you. 

Now don’t get me wrong, if you want a complex website with hundreds of pages and all manner of functionality, they can’t do that for free. But they can do that for a great price and they do a great job. They helped us build our site and we love it.  The Free Startup Websites are a great tool to tell the World that you’re in business and ready to go. Your online window to the world that you can use to promote your business and get your telephone ringing with enquiries.
