Are they obstacles that you think that a business owner starting new should deal with when starting a business?
I think the major thing we should avoid when we are to start a business is that we should avoid debt because starting a business is just like test running the business to see how well it will go

When starting a business, there are many obstacles to avoid in order to ensure success.

The first obstacle to avoid is the lack of a business plan. A business plan is a blueprint of the business and outlines the target market, the products and services offered, the financials, and the strategies for success. Without a business plan, it is difficult to gauge the success of a business and make necessary adjustments.


Another obstacle to avoid is inadequate financing. Many businesses fail because they do not have enough money to cover their expenses. It is important to have enough capital to cover startup costs as well as ongoing costs.

Thirdly, entrepreneurs should be aware of potential legal and regulatory issues. Businesses must comply with all laws and regulations related to their industry, such as licensing, taxation, labor laws, and environmental regulations. Failure to comply can lead to costly fines or even closure of the business. Finally, entrepreneurs should also avoid undervaluing their products or services. Many businesses fail because they do not charge enough for their products or services. It is important to research the market and set prices that are competitive and will bring in a profit. Overall, there are many obstacles to avoid when starting a business.

By taking the time to develop a comprehensive business plan, obtaining adequate financing, complying with laws and regulations, and setting competitive prices, entrepreneurs can set their businesses up for success.

You are very right about this because I have noticed that a lot of businesses without a good plan fail most of the time

One major obstacle you should try your very best to avoid would be offering your products and services for credit. Giving out credit would not make customers remain, you only end up in debts.

This is true. When starting a business, it is important to sacrifice some things and concentrate on work, otherwise, it will be impossible to succeed.

You should try as much as possible not to be in a rush when starting any business and make your preparations very well, so that you will have everything covered and not be surprised by something that you are not aware of.

Obstacles that must be avoided by someone who wants to start a business is being hasty and careless in conducting marketing research, because it will produce inaccurate data. Errors in marketing research will result in errors in making decisions in business.

One obstacle you should avoid is panic selling. When you are selling like that, you would most definitely sell at a loss. Start your marketing before you start your business.

Some of the obstacles faced by a new business is to secure adequate funding for the business, create brand awareness, hiring the right talents, lack of proper business and financial planning, and ineffective marketing.

As for me the major obstacle that one should avoid when starting a business is that they should not start the business using a borrowed loan. This would haunt the business and eventually make some losses in the long run.
