Economical Start Ups - Avoid Using Up All Resources
Cheap-to-run businesses are just the thing you need in present situation, and there are plenty of them, for example consulting business, online businesses (e.g. drop shipping), real estate brokerage, and the like. Some of these economical businesses initially need a huge capital to start with, and every so often people get carried away by the excitement and spend on things that are not really necessary in the start, it makes business startups a risky endeavor. Overspending at any stage of the business is obviously a bad practice, but being wasteful when you have just started, is asking for trouble. In case the business fails, it'll be so much more difficult to recover from that failure. Huge spending in the start will make you impatient and even the small setbacks will felt like a blow.
Start small and grow rather than starting big and diminishing:
Some startups, while trying to devastate their competition, spend too much on marketing and other stuff, which overburdens their finances. As a result, the first business that gets hurt by this excessive spending is ironically their own. Rule of the thumb for most businesses ...
... is to start everything on trial bases, instead of jumping in the market with high hopes and putting everything on stake.
Plan & Research:
Make a list of all requisites and expenditures that you may need in the start and then try to avail most of the low-cost alternatives available. For example, when you are looking for office furniture, you can save plenty by getting some second-hand office chairs and tables (in good condition), as the brand new furniture hardly plays any role in the final decision of a customers who pays a visit to your office. Similarly, don't indulge in extensive borrowing from banks or other resources; do not unleash some lavish advertising campaign as well.
Niche Segment:
You cannot capture the whole market all at once; you have to start by small segments. Big ambitions are fine but make realistic targets and go step by step. Niche is the keyword for any small business, even more so when you are just starting. Targeting a specific set of customers allows you to save on research, marketing, production and distribution. Also, starting by focusing on a small niche won't put other relatively large businesses on the alert, saving you from some serious blocking up tactics that these business can employ to choke your business in the start.
