Steps In Starting A Business

-

Starting a business requires a lot of work and preparation so it is advisable that you know all the steps involved before you start the process. Understanding the steps needed before you can actually launch your product will make you more prepared, both mentally and financially. The following summarizes the main steps to take once you determine to start your business.

Identify a Business Idea
Make something people need. A solid business idea is one that will solve problems, issues or needs in the long run. Even if you are not the pioneer, if you can deliver faster, cheaper and with better quality, then you have a good chance to succeed.

Analyze the Market
Know your business environment. Identify your target market, analyze supply and demand, study your competitors, economic condition and business climate. Only after you take all these into considerations, then you will be able to know how to position your product in the market.

Create a Business Plan
Planning is crucial. Create an extensive business plan that includes product details, market and competitive analysis, organization and management structure, and financial plan.

Decide on Financing and Shareholding Structure
Financial planning is fundamental in starting a business. Unless you decide to fund it yourself, consider all available options including: equity partners, small business loans and grants, investors etc. The sources of funding affect the shareholding structure of your company.

Choose Business Structure
In Indonesia, you can choose one of the following business structure:

1. Firma or Fa (unlimited liabilities company)
2. Commanditaire Vennootschap or CV (limited partnership)
3. PT (Perseroan Terbatas) or limited liability company

A limited liability company is often preferred for its limited liability feature.

Register Company, Get Licenses & Permits
Prepare all the necessary legal documents which include Deed of Establishment, Approval from Minister of Law and Human Rights, Business Domicile Letter, NPWP (Tax Identification Number), BPJS (social security scheme) which you can submit through Online Single Submission (OSS) system to get your business registration number or NIB (Business Identification Number) and Izin Usaha (Business Permit).

Form your Team
Getting the right people is what matters most in business. Great things in business are achieved through good teamwork so invest in your people.

Set Up Business Location
Choose a prestige business address that can enhance your product marketability.

Startup companies usually will not or cannot allocate a big budget for office rent, so virtual office, coworking space or serviced office are options to consider for their flexibility and cost efficiency. Even if you have to maintain a workshop for production purposes elsewhere, you can still choose virtual office, coworking space or serviced office as your business domicile address as it gives you a prestigious business address that helps in building brand and image.

Virtual office, coworking space and serviced office are cost efficient because all the facilities (working desk, meeting room, lounge pantry) and services (IT, reception, secretarial, cleaning, maintenance) are included in the monthly rent at a fraction of conventional office rent.

Virtual office and coworking office and serviced office are not just cost efficient but also flexible because their contracts are shorter than conventional office and you can adjust your office type and size at a short notice without having to change your business domicile. For these reasons, virtual office, coworking space and serviced office are suitable for startup companies.

Langkah-langkah Dalam Memulai Usaha

Memulai suatu usaha memerlukan banyak persiapkan jadi sebaiknya anda mengetahui langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan sebelum memulai proses tersebut. Dengan mengetahui langkah-langkah yang dibutuhkan sebelum meluncurkan suatu produk membantu anda untuk lebih bisa mempunyai persiapan mental dan keuangan. Di bawah ini adalah langkah-langkah terpenting yang harus anda lakukan setelah anda yakin akan memulai usaha.

Memastikan Ide Usaha
Buatlah sesuatu yang dibutuhkan orang. Ide usaha yang solid adalah yang bisa memberikan solusi untuk masalah ataupun kebutuhan di jangka waktu yang panjang. Walaupun anda bukan pelopor suatu produk, jika anda bisa menyampaikannya dengan lebih cepat, murah dan dengan kualitas yang lebih baik, maka anda tetap bisa sukses.

Menganalisa Pasar
Pelajari lingkungan usaha anda. Pastikan target pasar, analisa pasokan dan permintaan (demand and supply), pelajari saingan, situasi ekonomi dan iklim usaha. Baru setelah anda pelajari semua faktor tersebut, anda bisa memposisikan produk anda di pasar.

Buatlah Rencana Bisnis (Business Plan)
Perencanaan sangatlah penting. Buatlah rencana bisnis secara menyeluruh dan mencakup detil produk, analisa pasar dan saingan, struktur organisasi dan pengurus, serta rencana keuangan.

Putuskan Struktur Keuangan dan Pemegang Saham
Rencana keuangan adalah sesuatu yang fundamental dalam memulai usaha. Jika anda tidak bisa membiayai secara keseluruhan, pertimbangkan opsi lain seperti: partner usaha, hutang atau hibah, investor dan lain sebagainya. Sumber dana akan mempengaruhi struktur kepemilikan saham perusahaan.

Pilih Struktur Usaha
Di Indonesia, anda bisa memilih salah satu dari struktur usaha dibawah ini:

1. Firma atau Fa (kemitraan, tanggung jawab pemilik tidak terbatas)
2. Perusahaan Komanditer atau CV (tanggung jawab tidak terbatas bagi pemilik yang menjabat sebagai direksi aktif)
3. Perseroan Terbatas atau PT (tanggung jawab pemilik terbatas)

Struktur usaha PT lebih disukai karena tanggung jawab pemilik yang terbatas.

Daftarkan Perusahaan, Dapatkan Lisensi dan Izin Usaha
Siapkan semua dokumen-dokumen legal yang diperlukan seperti Akte Pendirian serta Pengesahannya dari Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia, Surat Domisili, NPWP, BPJS yang kemudian bisa anda kirimkan melalui sistim OSS (Online Single Submission) untuk mendapatkan NIB (Nomor Induk Berusaha) dan Izin Usaha.

Bentuk Tim Kerja
Mendapatkan karyawan yang cocok sangatlah penting dalam usaha. Pekerjaan penting hanya bisa diselesaikan dengan kerjasama yang baik.

Tentukan Lokasi Usaha
Pilihlah lokasi usaha yang bisa membantu pemasaran produk anda.

Perusahaan startup biasanya tidak bersedia mengalokasikan anggaran yang besar untuk sewa kantor, sehingga kantor virtual, coworking space atau serviced office (kantor siap pakai) merupakan pilihan yang lebih fleksibel dan hemat. Anda bisa tetap memakai workshop untuk lokasi produksi, tapi sekaligus menyewa kantor virtual, coworking space atau serviced office sebagai domisili usaha sehingga anda memiliki alamat usaha yang prestisius yang mana bisa membantu membangun merek dan citra.

Kantor virtual, coworking space dan serviced office adalah pilihan hemat karena semua fasilitas (meja kerja, meeting room, lounge, pantry) dan semua layanan (IT, resepsionis, sekretarial, kebersihan dan maintenance) sudah termasuk dalam biaya sewa kantor yang biasanya jauh lebih murah daripada biaya sewa kantor konvensional.

Kantor virtual, coworking space dan serviced office tidak saja lebih hemat tetapi juga lebih fleksibel karena kontraknya lebih pendek dari kantor konvensional sehingga anda bisa menyesuaikan tipe dan ukuran kantor dengan pemberitahuan singkat tanpa harus merubah domisili usaha anda. Faktor-faktor inilah yang membuat kantor virtual, coworking space dan serviced office menjadi pilihan yang cocok untuk perusahaan startup.
