We\u2019re highlighting some tips from our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/intuit-financial-literacy-foundations.everfi-next.net\/student\/dashboard\/intuit-literacy\/intuit-small-business\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small Business Startup Success course<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, powered by EVERFI, so that you can find ways to improve your financial wellbeing as a small business owner. With the confidence education brings, you can build an even brighter financial future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 small business tips for success:<\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Understand how personal finances impact you and your business<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having the drive to start a business is wonderful, but it\u2019s only part of the process. In addition to brand creation and business planning, you\u2019ll need to look at your personal finances. Starting a small business requires money, and money often requires loans. Your financial history can impact your ability to get the capital to launch your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by understanding your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditkarma.com\/advice\/i\/what-is-a-credit-score\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">credit score<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While good credit scores make it easier to obtain financing and may qualify you for better terms, it all starts with getting familiar with your score. If necessary, you can explore ways to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">raise your score<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help set yourself and your business up for success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another tip when starting a small business is to open <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/r\/banking\/personal-vs-business-bank-account\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business bank account<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u202fthat is separate from your personal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> account. This helps you maintain accurate records, understand your business\u2019s financial health, and make informed decisions. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to opening a business account, you have options. Do your\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/r\/banking\/open-business-bank-account\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research\u202f<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and choose the account that makes the most sense for your business. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Know your options to access additional capital<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses may <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/r\/funding\/12-different-ways-to-fund-your-small-business\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seek additional funding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at different points in their business journey for various reasons, such as assisting with start-up costs, purchasing new equipment, acquiring inventory, covering cash flow deficits, or even building a credit history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you apply for a business loan, the lender will request information they can use to assess your creditworthiness. Banks and credit unions are the traditional sources for small business loans, but aren\u2019t the only lenders. Other options, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/capital\/?cid=US_TXT_TOP_ManufacturingeBook_OIP_INF_InventoryAuditsArticle_QBOES_Y_N_N\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QuickBooks Capital<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can make it easier for small businesses to access capital to support and grow their business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some entrepreneurs use their personal funds to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/r\/starting-a-business\/how-to-fund-a-new-business\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">support their business operations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Remember to use your business bank account if you choose to contribute personal funds to your business. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your funding selection based on your business\u2019s specific needs \u2014 you can have more than one way to get capital.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to repaying the amount borrowed, you may also pay interest and fees and may need to provide collateral. Be sure to factor any regular payments into your budget, so you know what to expect when managing your finances. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Develop a marketing plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A business is nothing without a customer base, and attracting customers requires marketing. You\u2019ll need to understand your competition and build a plan to sell your products or services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determine what your market looks like and identify key statistics and facts that support your claim that the market is ready for your offering. Once you\u2019ve identified your audience, it\u2019s time to learn more about them and understand their pain points to determine how your product or service can help. Try setting up a focus group or a customer\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intuit.com\/blog\/intuitlife\/design-for-delight-building-deep-customer-empathy-to-solve-any-problem\/\" >follow-me-home<\/a>\u202fto observe their behaviors to build empathy and develop insights so that you can be smarter with your marketing.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0From <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/marketing-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/features\/digital-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">digital ads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/features\/organic-social-posting\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and more, you\u2019ll be able to start <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/marketing-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">building a relationship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with your customers as your business grows.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4.

Plan for retirement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning for retirement may be one of the most helpful tips for a small business startup. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be easy to prioritize the health of your business but don\u2019t forget to plan for your own future as well. Be sure to include additional expenses such as retirement,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> health insurance, and emergency savings plans when developing your personal and business budgets.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a small business owner, you may not be eligible for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an employer-sponsored 401(k)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan. Instead, consider an\u202f<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">individual retirement account<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u202f(IRA),\u202f<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a simplified employee pension IRA<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or a\u202f<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solo 401(k) plan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
