Brick and Mortar
You are in the process of buying or building a new business and you
have a million things to do, now you have a mortgage or rent,
utilities, advertising and much more to take care of but have you
thought about the second most important part of starting a new
business, probably not. Most small businesses never even think about
starting their online business with the brick and mortar, if they do
they usually go on the cheap with the online business.

Did you cut costs on you new business?

Probably not, though for lack of understanding how a good online presence can actually build your permanent business and have the chance to be much more profitable in the long term. The first 5 years are critical in the survival of a new business as 80% of new businesses fail within the first 5 years, every wonder why!

Of course going on the cheap for your online business is simply wasting time and money, you need to find a designer who also incorporates initial optimization into his or her work because with out both you simply will never be found, of course there is more to a good website than simply the design and initial optimization but this very important in getting your site noticed online in addition it is a good starting point.

Just like you spend money on a mortgage payment and advertising the new business you can kill two birds with one stone here, all of the advertising you spend for your stationary business can also build your online presence locally. If they like what they see they will spread the word, so a good first impression is imperative not only with your real business but also with your online business so they both can grow together otherwise you are just backtracking the whole time.

I do not have the money to build an online business?

Well I am going to be frank here, why are you going in business if your budget is that tight you are almost destined to fail. If you are taking out a loan to buy the business add a little more to build the website, look at it like you would you regular mortgage though the only difference is the website will only cost $100.00 a year for the mortgage, maybe slightly more for better hosting where your other business will cost far more than that. In many cases a full page ad in your local paper will cost more than a website for your business and you only get one shot with the newspaper ad where your online business will keep growing.

What about business value?

This is another huge value of an online business, your regular business usually valuates anywhere from 1 to 4 times gross on an average. Your internet business can greatly ad value to your regular business far exceeding the initial cost of development, especially if you work your online business like you work your regular business.
