As you are in business or preparing your long journey into business they are some business terms or categories we all need to understand and the way how we are going to use them only in our business community otherwise they might have a different meaning altogether outside our community.
Here are they:
When we say Startups: (5%) we mean those people who don't have business yet but they might have a plan, ideas or passion to start one. No business paperwork, they might have a business plan
Business hustlers: (10%) (vendors) people give them different names so in our community we decided to call them (business hustlers) we mean (vaya vanotamba iri kurira ipapo) Sometimes they don't have shops or offices to operate from and they don't have particular products or services to sell. They just sell anything at any given time of the year. Normally they don't do business paperwork.
Self employed:(50%) We know many of us on facebook wants to classify ourselves as self employed. But here in our community we mean people like carpenters, plumbers, hair dressers and many more. People who don't change their trades they work on their own like that year in year out. (Even vaya vanotengesa pamusika gore ne gore). They are likely to have business paperwork some of them are not bothered.
Small business owners:(80%) These people they run small businesses with 1 up to 50 employees, number of employees varies, but within our community scope is (1-50) at the moment. Some of these small businesses are registered but many are not, they are normally privately owned, sometimes family owned. They have business paperwork, though sometimes they have less of the required.
Lastly Corporations or registered Companies: (90%) can be either big or small, public or private and must generally be registered on the state level. This category is not within our community scope, though we can give advice to our members who might want to know how it works.
Please take note on these categories they have very thin lines between them that many of us don't see or chooses to ignore. So please for those who are going to join us in our programs please check and understand the difference.We don't know your business or the way how you are doing your business, so it is your responsibility to be honest to yourself and pick the rightful category which you fit in. In order to make our programs simpler and easier both to you and to us, make sure you get it right because all our business support plans, workshops and networks are structured and tailored are along those categories.
