Start up your business (Unit 23).

Nice to meet you. My name is Jackie and I’m a businesswoman. We started a sandwich bar because we were bored with the fact that so much food is pre-packed in plastic bags and we wanted to do something really fresh made. That's what people like. I like having this business because what we do is very people oriented, it's a service really, more than just a shop. The biggest problem is staff. If you can't get them you have to do everything like a one-man-band. So, managing a business is a hard work. At the beginning we went to the bank with a business plan and they offered us to lend money. Then a member of our family offered us the money - interest free - and we borrowed it. We earned enough to pay it back in the first year, as our business is getting stronger and stronger. Turnover is increasing all the time and last year profits doubled. But we plan to do lunches for companies soon and want to invest some money in new equipment. It's interesting because the margin is a lot higher and we like making money. Unfortunately, we have to increase our prices by 3 % because we'll pay more taxes next year.

I know that some organizations are in big trouble. It's difficult to run business for them because every year they have fewer customers. These organizations have to keep control of costs and plan the budget. Their turnover is getting down. To improve the situation they have to decrease the advertising budget, increase prices, borrow money from the bank at high interest and invest less in training. Some companies even pay all staff 10 % less salary to save some money, but I don't agree. I think high salary is important for motivation.
