Many startup ideas fail to ever be launched and many, many fail within the first year or two. In most cases, the failure has nothing to do with the business idea, but how the business side is handled. The business of entrepreneurship is business first, then operations....

So, how to avoid startup failures?

Prepare and have a Plan B

idea posted by Suryanarayan Murthy Asst Vice President (Corporate Finance), A Hydro Power Project
In most cases, busninessmen assume certain things like sales, pricing, logistics etc. Any variation will upset the operations. Have some cushion for any eventualities, prepare for the worst and have a Plan B ready even before you implement Plan A

As you have a positive plan also have a negative plan.Expect the unexpected and plan for that also.

Any plan must have some flexibality in it that some variations in monitry expenditures may be accmodated if desired .

The best way is to always play safe. Anticipate a failure & always carry an alternative plan that will help you in surviving difficult times.

Naturally that is he way to be safe. If plan a does not work go for plan b even c.

Why to avoid failures !!!!

idea posted by Anuj Gupta MBA/PGDM student, CIMSR
I always think failures of everyone's life are stepping stones one puts towards the success. People learn from the mistakes/failures only (it could your own or of someone else too) but avoiding failure is unrealistic. What matters a lot is: what we have learnt from our past failures and a commitment to ourselves of not to repeat those.

Plan and test the plan. Fine tune to get the desired results. Then execute.

idea posted by Jitendra Singh Director Technical, RMCL, PH, Nigeria
It is expensive to build and then discover that the desired results are not met. It is cost effective to do a plan, and test it while it is in soft form, on paper or program and check the results. The plan has to be fine tuned till we get the desired results. Once we are satisfied with the outcome, then actual execution should be attempted. A word of caution: Check your assumptions at every stage. Do not assume anything unless it can be substantiated well.

A few failure causes

idea posted by KALIYAMOORTHY Oil & Gas Area Coordinator, Undisclosed

Start up people need to have strong back-up to avoid the following problems:-

  • Financial crisis, problem in mobilizing Raw materials ( due to shortage in supply / production ),
  • Machinery down time ( Damage occurred in machines needs special skills that are not available),
  • Abrupt change in demand of products ( alternative made available causing less demand),
  • Workforce may not be available due to migration to other prosperous sector.
  • Regulatory bodies, stringent measures in handling the operation.
  • Impeccable logistic support for managing the affair.
