Running your own shop is not that easy. The cost of doing business in Seychelles is generally high. Such is the life of the retailer trying to stay afloat in an ocean of similar competitors.
Why some businesses succeed
Some out of pure luck, but for the most part it is because of strong business acumen. A good business person knows their market and is quick to react to the ever-changing needs of customers. If you are in the clothing business, you need to keep up with fashion trends. If general groceries are more your area, then you need to improve the shopping experience of your client. If it is technology you seek, then you need to provide all the latest gadgets and gizmos. Whatever it is, you need to be good at it and on top of it.
One areas where most ignore and only the truly successful masters is financial management. To make you a cut above the rest, you need to be able to manage your finances properly. And here is one area which we can help you with.
As an aspiring business person, it will become your duty to keep your house in order, including sorting out your insurance needs. While risk-taking is common, managing an uninsured business is an unnecessary risk no entrepreneur has ever taken. In fact, during unforeseen events and circumstances, businesses turn to their insurance provider to bail them out thus not affecting their cash flow.
