Saturday, July 10, 2010: "Business is not only about providing excellent products or services to customers, but also about strategies and systems that deal with all aspects in a company’s life cycle.

"It is about making everything work together so that you can deliver an excellent product or service at the end of the day. Strategies and systems represent to me the way an owner runs his company.

"As the saying goes, 'keep concentrating on delivering excellent products or services alone and it would soon not be necessary for you to continue doing it!'

"However, above all systems you need to have a profit protection system in place. A profit protection system entails, to a great extent, regular profit protection planning sessions.

"Unfortunately, I see almost every day enthusiastic entrepreneurs writing their business plans without given thought to this aspect at all." - Michiel Jonker, CISA

Profit Erosion and Protection

During the recession, it isn't easy to raise your prices or cut essential expenses in order to make up for lost profits or to maximize profit... not to mention the fact that you won't be able to motivate such actions to your Banker or Venture Capitalist when presenting your business plan!

Note: Due to the intensity of the recession, the majority of companies won't be able to increase prices for a long time AFTER the recession!

Higher prices could put you out of business and you still have to make a financial outlay in order to operate, pursue your business opportunities, and generate sales.

The only solution left is to reduce your business risks/threats/pitfalls, eroding your profits. As a result, you may even be in position to keep prices low - without cutting essential expenses!

By doing this, your chances of surviving the recession are far better - IF you had read our Business Planning Guide and IF you have included our recommendations in your business plan and planning.

Yes, you are about to learn how to profit from your BUSINESS PITFALLS too (and to show your sponsors in your business plan how you will do it)! Does this sound ridiculous? Please read on...

Your Risk of Failure and Chances of Success

As an entrepreneur you face one of two possible scenarios - business failure or success!

Unfortunately, every year, thousands of small and medium enterprises (SMEs)/small and medium businesses (SMBs) around the globe simply fail to grow or, even worse, close down!

Note: The high rate of unsuccessful business ventures occurred in "normal times" when credit was freely available. The past financial collapse, due to the property bubble, and the subsequent deleveraging, caused even more failures!

That's why we have decided to set up this web site. To survive and achieve REAL high growth and success (by the way, real business growth is based on profit, not credit!), you have to pay more attention (in your business plan and during your business planning sessions) to the threat agents in- or outside of your business (i.e. your business pitfalls) which are eating your profits... and which ALSO constitute your risk of business failure!

As you know, in difficult economic times, companies, to avoid failure, normally cut expenses (as rumor has it that a cost cutting exercise is the "easiest" part) - and most of the time, unfortunately, essential expenses too (usually considered as a crucial part of a company's financial outlay to operate). Agreed, unnecessary expenses MUST be cut - and NOT only during recession times!

However, we believe that small business companies should NOT cut essential expenses but rather focus on reducing the hidden leakages (causes of profit loss and failure) in their enterprises and address these weaknesses in their business plans and planning!

By fixing the profit erosion holes first, and making your small business profitable, you will be able to minimize your risk of failure and, inevitably, be in a better position to GROW your small business and achieve SUCCESS!

So, this web site is for medium and small business companies only. Just for you. Tailor-made to fit YOUR business planning needs as a SME/SMB owner!

Many business pitfalls have been recorded as small business failure reasons. HOWEVER, thousands of books and magazines (not to mention business plans) don't mention the most important and overall reason - encompassing ALL the other causes of the SME/SMB failure phenomenon (i.e. the failure-to-grow and failure-to-survive phenomenon)!

An All-Inclusive Reason for the Failure Phenomenon

You see, the number one overall reason why thousands of small and medium businesses fail to grow or go bankrupt is the...

PASSIVE STANCE of owners towards the pitfalls (risks) -

ALLOWING threat agents to RUN RAMPANT through their enterprises, and to...

EAT AWAY profits and potential profits!

A risk is ANYTHING that has the power to eat your profits, i.e. any event, action, decision, lack of action or decision as well as any circumstance in- or outside of your company that causes or could cause PROFIT EROSION. It is a generic term for the many causes/factors/threats that have been identified thus far as reasons for small biz failures - no matter whether these causes were of strategic, operational, financial or legal nature.

Small business companies focus, almost entirely, in their business plans and planning on how to profit from their business opportunities... and then get caught by the risks, forcing them to close their doors for ever! Our experience is that a small enterprise profits... ONLY TO LOSE IT AGAIN. This is a heartbreaking but true reality.

Many medium and small owners pay little or no attention to the pitfalls (i.e. they fail to PLAN and ACT against the profit erosion agents in their enterprises). In other words, their business plans do not cover adequate profit strategies and controls to protect and grow their businesses!

This attitude can be found in many SMBs - no matter whether these businesses are start-ups or facing enormous problems!

Even SMBs that are APPARENTLY growing and successful (i.e. SMBs achieving success in the short term only) fail... because they ignore the same enemy as their "unsuccessful" counterparts, namely the profit erosion agents in their enterprises! They only have the appearance of growth and success.

One All-Inclusive Solution

We have realized one thing: You need more than just a management book telling you of all the possible causes of failure and the necessary solutions to deal with it! The truth is, there are thousands, perhaps millions, of different types of pitfalls (risks)... far too many to cover in one study, training course, book or article.

As an alternative:

  • You first need to know the most important reason why thousands of small and medium enterprises fail to grow or go under.
  • By knowing this, you will also know how to survive AND to grow your business by covering and implementing one overall profit strategy (profit protection methodology) in your business plan and organization.
  • Part of this solution is the use of our Business Planning Guide, discussing two survival techniques. You should not only use these techniques to survive and overcome your risks, but also use them to achieve phenomenal GROWTH and SUCCESS in the long run!

However, to use our all-inclusive small business checklist on risk management and business planning, you first need to change your patterns of thought. You need to change the way you are thinking about and dealing with your risks, the pitfalls that are threatening your company's existence, future and growth! Furthermore, you also need to learn how to use these techniques.

Online e-Guide Course and Advice

We have therefore decided to share our experience with you by putting almost everything we know in a Business Planning Guide (compiled in a Business Survival Plan e-Book Course Manual) for owners, directors and managers - titled as the:

Survival Kit for Small and Medium Businesses

Profit from your Risks TOO!

Our e-book is intended for owners and managers who are truly serious about business planning, the GROWTH and PROFITABILITY of their companies - for those who are committed to do anything (legally, of course) in order to PROTECT and GROW their businesses!

PS: Make your business plan complete by including our profit protection methodology in your planning. You need to protect your profits in order to survive, grow and achieve success!

FAQ: I have to prepare a business plan, would it help me to read the e-Guide?

Although the manual doesn't cover the usual contents of a business plan (templates), or the process to develop one, it does cover a very important part of your business plan, namely how to identify the potential pitfalls/risks (i.e. the inherent risks of the business venture). This part of a business plan is often neglected. Unfortunately, too many entrepreneurs start their companies without giving a second thought to the potential pitfalls while busy writing their plans!

Regardless of whether you already operate a business or plan to start one, you will be in a better position to obtain venture capital for your company by developing a plan in which you can show the bank or venture capitalist that you have identified your risks and how you are planning to deal with it in order to grow.

Your plan will prove to them that you are not only dreaming about business success, but that you are standing with both feet on solid ground by acknowledging the fact that you do face risks and that you have planned to deal with it by including your identified risks in your business plan. (See risk management methodology.)

In other words, that you have identified countermeasures/controls to protect their investment capital and your profits against the negative financial impact of the risks you are facing. (It goes without saying that you also need to include your countermeasures (controls) in your plan.)

In the manual we show in detail how to calculate the negative financial impact of your business risks (profit erosion) as well as the cost of your countermeasures - and how to illustrate these calculations in your planning.

As a result, you will be able to motivate why you have decided to counteract or not to counteract certain business threats on a sound economical basis. You will be able to illustrate to your bank or venture capitalist that you have identified cost-effective countermeasures and that they and your business will profit from it!
