Is Your Business Model Viable?
07.15.10, 3:25 PM ETYou have a great business idea, and even got started on a business plan. But now you wonder: Is my upstart business model really viable? Here is an eight-point test to tell you if you should forge ahead with your business idea.
1. Uniqueness
Before you worry about upstart financing, marketing or business location, you should begin with an idea--not just any idea, but one that's unique. What makes your business stand out from the rest?Uniqueness doesn't necessarily mean you have to invent something (though that's never bad--just look at Snuggie's success), it just means that you have to set yourself apart from the competition. If you're starting a catering company, say, what will make your catering service different from the rest? These are tough questions, but important ones. The most successful businesses have a strong, unique concept, and a clear identity. Take the time to define yours.
