BIZFEM MAGAZINE


The Art of Getting Money - CAPITAL<br />

NOW you approach a lender for financial<br />

help, the whole exercise starts by knowing what<br />

your lender wants. A common way is to simply ask.<br />

A better way is to ask a friend or business advisor.<br />

For a business loan, the most common things are:<br />

• <strong>Business</strong> financial statements<br />

• <strong>Business</strong> tax returns<br />

• <strong>Business</strong> Plan with budget or projection<br />

• Personal financial statements<br />

• Personal tax returns<br />

Step two is to be ready to answer questions about your<br />

business, and be ready to highlight your financial performance<br />

both in the past and in the future. You will<br />

be more impressive if you have carefully thought-out<br />

answers, and have become familiar with your business<br />

plan. Bring your accountant if you need help.<br />

Be prepared to tell them why you need the money. “I just need<br />

the money,” does not inspire confidence or the fact that you<br />

have thought it through. In the previous edition we studied<br />

a number of different purposes. Give them some detail.<br />

“substance.” Avoid giving the impression of being<br />

an over optimistic, “pie-in-the-sky” operator.<br />

• Most start-up businesses don’t find a place for expensive<br />

entertaining. Your lenders will be more interested in<br />

knowing how their money is being used to grow your business.<br />

• Do not depend on a bank to loan you<br />

money to start a business. Most small businesses<br />

are funded by personal savings.<br />

• Make a shrewd appraisal to minimize your<br />

risks and to limit losses to a predetermined limit.<br />

• Your suppliers and vendors can be sources of financing.<br />

For example, if you need an illuminated sign for your<br />

store front, the company you contract with to make the sign<br />

may provide financing so you can make monthly payments<br />

rather than pay cash. (They want your business.) Examples:<br />

o Longer payment terms<br />

o Advertising and marketing assistance<br />

o Furnishing or financing<br />

of equipment, signs or inventory.<br />

o Advertising and promotional programs<br />

• Bartering, which is to trade by exchange one<br />

commodity for another, can provide a source of financing.<br />

For example your advertisements in the local<br />

newspaper might be paid for by the bagels you make!<br />

BIZFEM MAGAZINE<br />

Propose a repayment plan. Examples of different structures<br />

are:<br />

• A line of credit, payable at your discretion<br />

but subject to renewal annually by the bank<br />

• Term loan payable monthly over a<br />

number of years starting on a specific date<br />

Most places have some flexibility. Potential lenders<br />

appreciate that you are thinking about paying<br />

them back instead of just getting the money.<br />

Other tips to keep in mind:<br />

• Needless to say, being well dressed and neat in appearance<br />

at bank / lender meetings will reflect positively.<br />

• Most lenders will want to see your business plan.<br />

• Keep your lenders informed on the status<br />

of your business: the good and the bad.<br />

• If you are unable to make a loan payment<br />

on time, call your lender in advance, advise<br />

him/her of the problem and request the extension<br />

you need. Explain the sources of repayment.<br />

• Virtually all lenders will do a personal savings and<br />

corporate credit check through ITC or other means. Be prepared<br />

to discuss any prior credit issues/problems. The best<br />

access to a lender is by a referral. Lending is a people business.<br />

Have your attorney or friend introduce you to a lender.<br />

• The first thing that will spook lenders or<br />

investors is the fear you are “puff” rather than<br />

“There may be<br />

covenants”<br />

After You Get the Money<br />

Getting the money is only the first step. You should<br />

strive to be a good customer so you can get cooperation<br />

if you need help later. A good customer sticks to his/<br />

her agreement. Make sure you understand the requirements<br />

and perform to them as much as possible. In a<br />

business relationship, lenders will ask for regular financial<br />

statements, which you should produce on time.<br />

There may be covenants. A covenant is a written agreement<br />

in which you promise to meet specified obligations<br />

such as submitting the agings of your accounts<br />

receivable. The “agings” report will show the lenders<br />

if your credit customers are paying on time or not.<br />

Be proactive. Contact them if there is a problem. Be<br />

sure to stay in touch even if nothing new is going on.<br />

You have GREATNESS !<br />

Life<br />

Life caught you on the blind side and knocked you<br />

off your feet. You expected something, but it did not<br />

happen. You did not expect this challenge; however, it<br />

came into your life. You worked hard and did not get<br />

the outcome you wanted. No matter what your situation<br />

may be, know this, the floor is no place for a winner.<br />

Get up. Crawl if you must. Cry, scream or shout. But get<br />

up! Lying down will not change a thing. Talking about<br />

how close you were, will not bring it about. Complaining<br />

will not put any money in the bank. Shake it off,<br />

throw away the Kleenex and get your head right! We<br />

all get the wind knocked out of us from time to time by<br />

life. Don’t let it get the best of you! You are stronger<br />

than you think you are. You have the right stuff. Don’t<br />

take it personally. It is called life. Get up, get busy and<br />

work your business. You have something special in you!!<br />

Stop trying to change<br />

other people<br />

Stop trying to change the people you love and change<br />

yourself! Stop trying to change people who take your<br />

money but will not take your advice. You will only drain<br />

your own mental, spiritual, emotional and financial reserves.<br />

The truth is...people change when they are sick<br />

and tired of being sick and tired or hit rock bottom.<br />

Do not stop now!!<br />

Continue to work on yourself and your dream. Do<br />

not look for others to hold your heart, take your hand<br />

or have your back. You are responsible for your own<br />

life and for creating your own path. Commit to move<br />

out of your own way. Stop procrastinating or waiting<br />

for someone to rescue you. Be clear about who you<br />

can count on and who you must count out. Make adjustments<br />

and surround yourself with positive energy,<br />

people and thoughts. Great things take time, effort and<br />

sacrifice!! Keep looking up and moving forward with<br />

the end in mind. You have something special within!<br />

Be patient, continue to persist and move in the direction<br />

of your dream. Many times a dream has a life of<br />

its own. It will take you on a journey to build your<br />

character, your confidence and your faith. Be patient!<br />

Patience does not mean being inactive. It means positive<br />

expectation and a knowing deep down in your heart<br />

that you will be alright. Believe that things are going to<br />

work out for you. Judge not according to appearances.<br />

Be patient ~ even if you do not have a dime in the<br />

bank, lost your job, or your money. Be patient. You<br />

have the power in you to pull this out. Don’t judge<br />

yourself based on what you do not have. What you<br />

have is enough. Hold the vision. You have the power<br />

in you to resurrect your dreams and make them become<br />

a reality. Work on yourself. Believe in yourself<br />

and in a power greater than yourself. Be patient and<br />

keep moving forward. Things will work out for you.<br />

Remember...You have something special.<br />

You have GREATNESS within you!!<br />

If you are dealing with addiction or irresponsible behavior<br />

from grown adults ~ protect your wallet and your mind.<br />

It does not mean you do not love them. Your attempts to<br />

help may only delay what is inevitable. Allow them to<br />

take the journey they have chosen for themselves. Choose<br />

to let go of the guilt and be at peace. You may require<br />

counseling or emotional support to stop being an enabler.<br />

If necessary, give yourself some distance so that you can<br />

stop being used or manipulated because they know that<br />

you care and you love them. You have the right to enjoy<br />

a guilt-free, happy and productive life. Commit yourself<br />

to changing the only person you really can - YOU!!<br />

The drive to succeed<br />

in business<br />

BIZFEM MAGAZINE<br />

Being an entrepreneur is more than just being<br />

able to start a business, it is more about having<br />

the right attitude and drive to succeed in business.<br />

Successful entrepreneurs have a similar way of thinking<br />

and possess several key personal qualities that<br />

make them successful in business. These successful<br />

entrepreneurs are ambitious and have an inner drive to<br />

succeed and grow their businesses rather than having<br />

business degrees or technical knowledge in particular<br />

fields. Good entrepreneurs have the following qualities:<br />

• Inner drive to succeed – Entrepreneurs must<br />

be driven to succeed and expand their business. They<br />

must see the bigger picture and often be very ambitious.<br />

• Strong self-belief – Entrepreneurs must<br />

have a healthy opinion of themselves and often<br />

have a strong and assertive personality.<br />

• Search for new ideas and innovation<br />

– All entrepreneurs must have a passionate<br />

desire to do things better and to improve<br />

their products offering or services offering.<br />

• Openness to change – If something is<br />

not working for them, they must simple change.<br />

They must be up to date with the latest technology<br />

or service techniques and must always be<br />

ready to change if they see a new opportunity arise.<br />

• Competitive by nature – Successful<br />

entrepreneurs always strive on competition.<br />

• Highly motivated and energetic – The<br />

high standards and ambition of many entrepreneurs<br />

demands that they have to be motivated.<br />

• Accepting of constructive criticism – Innovative<br />

entrepreneurs are often at the forefront of their<br />

industry so they hear the words “it can’t be done”<br />

quite a bit. They must readjust their path if the criticism<br />

is constructive and useful to their overall plan.<br />

True entrepreneurs are resource full, passionate and<br />

driven to succeed and improve. They are pioneers and<br />

must always be comfortably fighting on the frontline.<br />

Small business (SMEs),<br />

the way to grow economy<br />

Everyone, the government, the private sector<br />

and civil society all agree that small business<br />

is the solution to job creation. There seem<br />

therefore, to be a different opinion over how<br />

small business should be developed to grow the<br />

economy. More than twelve million people are<br />

employed by small businesses in South Africa.<br />

Entrepreneurship empowers citizens and is required<br />

for any merging market to move forward and successfully<br />

integrate into global economy. Government<br />

and the private sector must constantly inspire<br />

young people to embrace innovation and creativity;<br />

this will lead to more entrepreneurs merging.<br />

What is the status of entrepreneurs in our country?<br />

– The government has set up a number of<br />

small development agencies such as Khula Enterprise,<br />

National Youth Development Agency,<br />

Small Enterprise Development Agency and<br />

many others to boost small business growth.<br />

These agencies were established to offer alternative<br />

financial assistance for small businesses because<br />

of the problems experienced by emerging<br />

entrepreneurs at banks. The Empowerment fund is<br />

also taking strides in trying to bring a solution to<br />

the funding problem for emerging entrepreneurs.<br />

Information also comes out that suggest that it is<br />

not only funding that is a challenge to small businesses,<br />

but most importantly, it is information.<br />

While the media try to give out more information<br />

on small business development, and many agencies<br />

publish that information on the internet, the fact is<br />

that a lot of entrepreneurs are still in the dark, and<br />

more so due to the fact that as vast of the information<br />

is found online, a few entrepreneurs have<br />

access to the internet especially the black community,<br />

so that information does not reach them.<br />

10 <strong>May</strong>/<strong>June</strong> <strong>2015</strong> www.bizfem.co.za


About 63 percent of the small businesses fail within the<br />

first two years. Other reasons for the failure of small<br />

businesses are the reasons for which people get into<br />

business. For example as we come out of the resent<br />

economic melt dawn, the economy shed a lot of jobs<br />

forcing people to seek alternative means of income.<br />

With few alternatives available, a number of people venture<br />

into business without the skills or aptitude to do so.<br />

The challenge is again with government to streamline<br />

funding agencies into different sectors so<br />

as to enable these agencies to develop products<br />

which are tailor-made for the targeted sector.<br />

This will make sure that merging entrepreneurs<br />

will venture into businesses that the government<br />

can support true tenders as demand will be exceeding<br />

supply, thus the small businesses will prosper.<br />

Motivation<br />

BIZFEM MAGAZINE<br />

Are you spending your time in other people’s<br />

business? Is your energy and effort<br />

spent minding other people’s concerns?<br />

I am not referring here to gossiping, rumour mongering<br />

or any such vice. I am referring to the thing<br />

that makes thousands of people in this country get up<br />

early in the morning, leave their families and homes<br />

and make a mad dash through crazy traffic like it’s<br />

the end of the world. That thing is work. More specifically,<br />

it is employment. Whether in the formal<br />

or informal sector, it is the dominant activity in our<br />

lives throughout the world. It is a necessary evil for<br />

most of us because deeper down we would rather not<br />

be working for anyone else, but somehow we accept<br />

that it is the only way to get by. Once a pay cheque arrives<br />

at the end of the month we feel relieved, though<br />

only for a little while, that we have our needs met.<br />

By the 10th of the month the waiting starts all<br />

over again. We have to endure the rest of the<br />

month until the next paycheque. This is a reality<br />

for most people around the world. We have<br />

become slaves to our salaries. “Making a living”<br />

is killing us instead of making our lives better.<br />

Who are you working for?<br />

When you go to work every day, whose purpose<br />

are you fulfilling? It is the purpose of the company<br />

or organization you are working for. You are<br />

employed to help your organization achieve its objectives.<br />

If someone else took over your position<br />

they would still do the same thing you do in order<br />

to achieve the organizations objective. If you<br />

are working for an individual, you are still fulfilling<br />

the objectives of that individual, so in both cases<br />

you are still minding someone else’s business.<br />

You are not what you do<br />

However the situation gets more complex: many of<br />

us have been led into believing that the organizations<br />

purpose is our purpose. We whole- heartedly take up<br />

the cause of the organization as our own. Our ideas<br />

and thoughts slowly but surely come to be replaced by<br />

those of our workplace. We become the perfect employees.<br />

“You are not<br />

what you do”<br />

What’s wrong with that? Everything. You are not<br />

what you do. Your work is not who you are. Unfortunately<br />

our education system hasn’t helped in this<br />

regard. It has trained us to become what we study. If<br />

you study law you became a lawyer, auto mechanics<br />

makes you a mechanic and cooking makes you a<br />

cook. “The mistake in becoming what you study is<br />

that too many people forget to mind their own business.<br />

They spend their lives minding someone else’s<br />

business and making that person rich.” Those are the<br />

wise words of Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad<br />

poor Dad.<br />

Let’s Talk <strong>Business</strong><br />

ADVERTISING –<br />

WHAT IT IS<br />

Advertising is to call the public’s attention to<br />

your business, usually for the purpose of selling<br />

products or services through the use of various<br />

forms of media such as print or broadcast notices.<br />

The purpose of advertising is to:<br />

• Make customers aware of your products and services<br />

• Convince customers that your company’s<br />

products or services are right for their needs<br />

• Create a desire for your product or service<br />

• Enhance the image of your company<br />

• Announce new products or services<br />

• Draw customers to your business<br />

Your main focus as an entrepreneur is to make prospective<br />

customers aware that your product or services<br />

exists, draw their interest in what your product or<br />

service can do for them, make them want to try your<br />

product or services and let them take action by asking<br />

for more information or actually buying the product.<br />

Adapt like a<br />

buffalo in your<br />

business!<br />

What determines the success of a business - is it<br />

hard work or smart work, and can adaptability create<br />

a competitive edge? Let’s learn from the buffalo.<br />

Buffalo are extremely adaptable and can survive in any<br />

terrain, from open grasslands to thick African bushes.<br />

How adaptable is your business in a changing business<br />

landscape? Does your business make use of the Kaizan<br />

principle - expansion through continuous renewal by pursuing<br />

new opportunities as the marketplace is reshaped?<br />

Take optic fibre, for instance - a new technology that<br />

reshaped the marketplace. It uses 5% of the energy that<br />

copper uses and can carry up to 8 700 messages simultane<br />

ously. Copper, traditionally used for communication<br />

cables, can only carry 48 messages simultaneously.<br />

Buffalo avoid the heat and graze in the cool hours of<br />

the morning and even at night. This brings us to the<br />

principle of economy of effort, or as some would<br />

call it, working smart, not hard. While it is a virtue to<br />

work hard, working hard without working smart can<br />

consume unnecessary energy that could otherwise<br />

have been applied more creatively in your business.<br />

Smart businesses actively focus on opportunities<br />

that require minimum input for maximum output.<br />

Sometimes less is more. We tend to want to do too<br />

much and do not differentiate between opportunities<br />

in order to pursue the most profitable ones.<br />

<strong>Business</strong>es need to stop and think which opportunities<br />

create the best returns on their sweat capital.<br />

If buffalo are threatened they will approach the<br />

source instead of waiting for the source to approach<br />

them. The herd protects its members in<br />

distress and brings the whole herd to the rescue –<br />

even lions have been chased up trees by buffalo.<br />

Buffalo have a reputation for even turning on their<br />

pursuers, predator or human, to counterattack.<br />

Learning from the buffalo, businesses should continuously<br />

be aware of competitor activities and,<br />

like the buffalo, move closer to the action to get<br />

a clear impression of their competitors’ strategy.<br />

The closer you study your competitors’ strategy,<br />

the easier it will be for you to plan a counterattack.<br />

In the face of a growing global economy, South<br />

African businesses must also learn to think globally<br />

while acting locally. More and more competitive<br />

products will enter the South African<br />

market and cannibalize their market share.<br />

If the government, for instance, signs a trade<br />

agreement with foreign countries, entrepreneurs<br />

should make it their business to determine<br />

whether the agreement will have an impact on<br />

their industry and, if so, strategize accordingly.<br />

Better the enemy you know than the<br />

one you did not care to find out about!<br />

RENEWABLE ENERGY<br />

RENEWABLE ENERGY is energy which is<br />

continuously being replenished by nature!!!<br />

HOW A PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR<br />

SYSTEM WORKS<br />

The sun illuminates the solar<br />

cells in the PV Array, which<br />

convert the energy in the<br />

sunlight into electricity. The<br />

electricity goes into an inverter<br />

and into the power lines to your<br />

‣Parabolic (trough) mirrors can focus the<br />

sun at 30 to 60 times its normal intensity<br />

on a receiver pipe located along the focal<br />

line of the trough.<br />

‣Synthetic oil captures this heat as it<br />

circulates through the pipe, reaching<br />

temperatures as high as 750ºF. The hot oil<br />

is pumped through a heat exchanger on<br />

the power production side of the plant to<br />

produce steam.<br />

‣Electricity is produced in a conventional<br />

steam turbine/generator<br />

‣The power cycle is completed with the<br />

condensing of the steam through a<br />

cooling tower and then pumping it back<br />

through the heat exchanger connected to<br />

the solar energy collection field.<br />
