Decide on roles
Aside from who is to lead the team, if there are going to be two or more of you then you need to specify what your roles are.
These are some of the things to do in your business. Add your own thoughts to this list, and then split the tasks up between you:
- Selling to your customers – actually clinching the deals.
- Managing the money and the admin.
- Buying from your suppliers.
- Actually doing what it is that your business does (you might all end up involved in this at first), or managing the people who do this work.
- Promoting your business to potential customers using PR, advertising, promotional stunts, special offers, leaflets, websites etc.
