Startups struggle to find their foothold on their market. With approximately 543,000 companies starting each month, it is important that a small business startup plans carefully on what they need to do in order to keep their business growing year after year. 

Being new to the market is a frightening time for most startups but you must step up to the challenge. Extensive research of the market you are entering should be first on your priority list. How has your segment responded to the current businesses they purchase from and what problem will your startup solve? 

Promoting your business and educating yourself on how to solidify your startup''s foundation has to be planned carefully. Investing the most precious resource of all, time, and your plan fails, could mean the end to your business before it really starts. You can get expert advice from attending startup business conferences that are held all over the country. There you can learn from experts on business and convert their experiences into your successes. There will also be other startups that you could partner with that could have the technology and the bridge you need to connect your startup to your customer segment. 

Sometimes you have a great idea, but you are unsure how to grow it to the point where it can be considered a successful business venture. This leaves businesses to close down or be bought by bigger businesses that believe in your concept and want to build the brand. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff predicts that this year there will be a lot of cheap startups to buy because they didn''t grow as expected. Some entrepreneurs dream of selling their business to a larger corporation. When you begin your business journey, have an idea of what you deem a success for your business.
