Why start a new business?

Starting a new business can be a challenging but rewarding experience that leads to personal, professional and economic growth. It may be important to you for several reasons:

• Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Starting a new business can be a way to express creativity and innovation by bringing a new product or service to market, or by creating a more efficient way of delivering existing products or services

• Economic Growth - Entrepreneurship and small business development can contribute to economic growth by creating jobs, increasing competition and generating new revenue streams for communities

• Personal Fulfillment - Starting a new business can be personally fulfilling, as it can provide a sense of accomplishment and purpose and allow individuals to pursue their passions and interests

• Financial Independence - Starting a successful business can lead to financial independence and security, as entrepreneurs have the potential to earn more income and build wealth over time

• Flexibility - Starting a new business can offer flexibility in terms of work schedule, location and management style, allowing individuals to create a work-life balance that suits their needs.

Who is this bundle designed for?

This course is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs, including school leavers, who want to start their own business but don't know where to begin. It is also suitable for current business owners and employees (intrapreneurs) who want to improve their skills in putting up a new business proposition for consideration by management and the board.

Entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs are individuals who are focused on innovation and creating value, but there are some key differences between them:

• Ownership: The most significant difference between entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs is business ownership. Entrepreneurs are typically the founders of their own businesses and are responsible for their success or failure. In contrast, intrapreneurs are employees within an existing organisation and operate within the structure and guidelines of that organisation.

• Risk: Entrepreneurs often bear a higher level of risk, as they are responsible for securing funding, developing and executing their business plans and building a customer base from scratch. In contrast, intrapreneurs operate with the support and resources of an established organisation and may have less risk, including personal risk, associated with their innovations.

• Focus: Entrepreneurs tend to focus on creating entirely new businesses or disrupting existing markets, while intrapreneurs focus on innovating within the existing structure of their organisation to improve processes or develop new products or services.  That said, many organisations welcome new business models and are prepared to spin out non-core businesses for additional value.

• Resources: Entrepreneurs typically have limited resources at their disposal and must be creative in how they allocate their time and money. In contrast, intrapreneurs have access to the resources of their organisation and can leverage existing infrastructure, technology and expertise to drive innovation.

• Motivation: Entrepreneurs are often motivated by the potential for financial gain and the desire to be their own boss, while intrapreneurs may be motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to their organisation and advance their career.
