As a startup, it’s extremely important to make sure you look good to investors. There are many different things you can do to make sure you look good, but not all of them work. These things will help you look good to investors no matter what kind of startup you have!

Have a Clear Direction

If you know where you’re going with your business, you should have it written down. It’s a good idea to focus on what you want to do with the business so you can show people what your plans are for the future. You can also make sure you’re doing everything the right way if you want to be sure the business is going to succeed in the future.

There is a shared belief that coworking spaces cater to the 20-something caffeine-charged dreamers, who do not have enough budget to power their dreams. There was a time when shared office spaces weren't a thing. They were the anomaly in a world of 9-to-5 conformists. People shied away from these shared work areas because they were "distracting," "unproductive” and "limiting." It was the late 2000s when it was somewhat easier to find dedicated office spaces on rent and shared spaces were spotty nooks scattered across the city. People found these places out of need through word of mouth, rather than the web. Social media and co-working had not yet met, and those working at these places were somewhat “outcasts” in the professional world.

Improving customer satisfaction is one of the most important tasks of any business, seeing as how it determines whether or not they will come back after the first purchase. According to one statistic, only 8 percent of return customers make as much as 40 percent of your entire profit, mostly because they A) come over and over again and B) feel free to make more expensive purchases. Nevertheless, if your business doesn’t offer them much the first time around, it isn’t likely that they’ll return for the second run (let alone third or fourth). So, here are six quick and efficient ways to improve customer satisfaction.

Starting on your  business undoubtedly requires a lot of work. On top of all the other things a future business owner needs to think of, are the licenses and permits needed for the new business. Startups need permits for a lot of things, but which ones you need specifically is determined by the kind of business you’re starting. The requirements are regulated by federal, local, state, and country rules. It doesn’t have to be hard getting your licenses if you know exactly what you need.
