Protect yourself by understanding what a business opportunity really is and the steps you should take to ensure that you've found the best opportunity available. An opportunity to strengthen your business and your leadership skills.

  • Be honest about your abilities and strengths

The opportunity may appear to offer greater financial opportunities but you need to make a proper evaluation of what you stand to gain from it. You should have a genuine interest in the idea and be willing to learn and devote significant time to it.

  • Research the prospects of each opportunity by doing a complete market research

Don’t always rely on your “gut feeling”, you need to back up every business decision with significant facts.

  • Learn more about the company behind the offer

A legitimate company should provide you with financials and references to verify with, be wary of anyone resisting to provide you with this type of information. For an expert opinion you can always hire an attorney to verify all documents / information sent to you by the proposing company.

  • Find out what it takes to run the business

You must have all the information about the mechanics behind the business venture. Have a complete understanding of what it take to run the business, the type of resources you would need to make the business opportunity a success. Have you ever made a business decision that turned out really bad? How did you manage to save your business?
