Business Models

If you're on your way to starting your business, thinking about how to raise capital, and looking for a private placement, then you may want to consider your business model. A good business model is not easily come by, and you want to make sure it is sound or at least secure enough for your purposes before you take on the big task of running a business, it is best to make sure that you are setting up your business right from the start for success. Economic value is only made through a successful business model, so it can be the most important part of starting your business. This should guide you through some of the aspects of a successful business model.

Many new businesses cannot rely on old or traditional business models, so instead of the new ideas coming through in whatever product or service the business is providing, but in the business model itself. There are many complex aspects entangled with business models, including markets, products, and environment, and it is the role of the business model to connect the specific area of technical inputs and the area of economic outputs. The first thing you want to have in a basic business model is the proposition, where you have to state what the customer needs, followed by the product or service that solves that need, and how valuable that customer will think the product or service is from their own specific individual perspective.

The next thing to factor in is the market, meaning that you will have to consider what specific group of customers or consumers you wish to target, and taking into consideration that different segments of the markets require different things and some of the most successful marketing strategies are ones that target different segments of the market that have not been targeted or that have been overlooked or have not been differentiated from other sections of the market in the past. Next, it is very important to settle on where your business falls in the "value chain," the chain of production to consumption, and to decide how you will both find the value in that chain and how you will capture that value. The next part of the business model you will want to consider is how your business will generate revenue, whether that is from sales, support, leasing, or subscriptions, and what your potential costs as well as projected profit margins will be.

Another thing to consider is where your business will stand in the network, ie. who your competitors will be for whatever market segment you are looking at, and any aspects of the network that you can exploit to defeat competition and get more value to your customers. This leads us to the strategy of competition your business will enact, whether it be by cheaper costs, utilizing a market niche, or something else to produce and maintain a competitive advantage. Following these steps makes a reliable approach to your business, making it easier for you to have success in whatever market you are trying for.
