Bid Writing Specialist

So let’s, for example, say that you know a thing or two about writing successful tender documents. That’s all very well and good. But imagine i told you that you were going to start to write bid documents for a living. Imagine, just for a minute, that you would have to write thousands of bids, all for different types and sizes of business, each year. That would be very difficult from writing an handful of bids for your own company wouldn’t it?

So let’s examine in what ways writing bids for your own company and writing bids for a range of different companies, is different. Well, for a start, you know your own business, pretty much inside and out, and, therefore writing bid documents for your own business is much different than writing bids for companies that you don’t know about. In fact, no business owner or business decision maker would let you anywhere near a keyboard to write a bid document for them until you had done copious amounts of very thorough research into their business, their competition and their industry! But this is the point entirely – if you are going to write lots of bid documents for lots of different types of companies and organisations then you need to put a process in place to research and learn about your new client/s.

Can you think of any other ways that writing bids for more than one company, and lots of them, can be different from just writing bid documents for your company alone? Well, the sheer extra quantity is another factor – there will be lots more tender documents to write and you’ll have to manage all of these different clients. Bid management comes in useful here! Using a tried and trusted project management methology would be extremely useful in setting up what would no longer be a simple bid writing process within a business but an actual bid writing business!

So now do you see what makes the difference between writing on a small scale for one client or, indeed, your own business and actually starting a bid writing business! Because this is what we are talking about here – setting up a business which deals with multi-sector, multi-size and, ultimately, lots and lots of tender production!

Corporate Advisory Services – A New Business Environment in the Making

Corporate advisory services are needed to ensure that a corporate enterprise runs efficiently at its maximum potential through effective management of financial and other resources. It also rejuvenates old-line companies and ailing units and guides existing units in locating areas/activities of growth and diversification. Usually, Merchant Bankers provide these services. The corporate advisory services represent an important component of the portfolio of the activities of merchant bankers. Corporate advisory services, for a business enterprise, include the following services:

• Provide guidance in areas of diversification based on the Government’s economic and licensing policies.
• Appraising product lines and analyzing their growth and profitability.
• Forecasting future trends, and rejuvenating old line companies and ailing sick units by appraising their technology and processes and restructuring their capital base.

The move to help the ailing industrial units is a well thought out service by the merchant bankers which remained unattended for years. Now the merchant banks in India have recognized this gap and started helping ailing companies to overcome their problems. For example Punjab National Bank has developed special expertise in the area and contemplates to offer help in this sensitive area in one or more of the following ways, viz:

(i) commissioning of diagnostic studies,
(ii) assessment of revival prospects and preparation of rehabilitation plans, schemes of modernization and diversification, revamping of the financial and organizational structure,
(iii) arranging approval of the financial institutions/banks for schemes of rehabilitation involving financial relief etc. assistance in getting soft loans from the financial institutions for capital expenditure and the requisite credit facilities from the bank,
(iv) monitoring of rehabilitation schemes, and
(v) exploring possibilities of takeover of sick units and assistance in making consequential arrangement and negotiations with financial institutions/banks and other interests/authorities involved.

The corporate advisory services as explained do not cover all the services rendered by merchant banks to the corporate world. In fact there cannot be a finite list of these services. As new problems come up there would be a need for a new kind of corporate advice, which would solve those problems. Some merchant banks would take up the challenge and gear up their activities for providing the needed corporate advice. This leads to the emergence of new corporate advisory services. Therefore it can be rightly said about merchant banks, “merchant banks are the institutions which identify and solve corporate problems”. In addition to the corporate advisory services explained above the merchant banks may also provide the following services to the corporate world:

a) Help in Management Decisions.
b) Export Staff Placement and HRD Help.
c) Financial Reengineering.

5 Powerful Tips For Starting A Business

Thousands of people dream about starting a business every day, yet only a very small percentage will ever turn their dream into a reality.

If you follow these 5 important tips then your business idea can get off the ground. Not only that, it can also succeed and become a sustainable venture for many years to come.

1. Get your head out of the clouds.

The first important lesson when considering a new business venture is to be realistic. Whether you are wanting to open a shop or an online venture you must be realistic. Without a realistic approach you are likely to fail. Far too many businesses fail in their first 3 years simply due to unwarranted expectations. Business owners expect their business to flourish quickly instead of having the patience to gradully build their brand and company.

You need to ask some serious questions before you start your business. Will it work? How much money do I need to get it started? What are the business risks? How much do i need to earn to survive? You must consider these questions carefully. If the responses are positive, go for it!

2. Market research.

You must carry out lots of market research before you start your first business. You do not have to pay a company to do it for you, you can do it yourself. Find out who your target customers are and ask them if they would be interested in your product or service. Avoid asking friends or family relatives as they are likely to tell you what you want to hear, as opposed to some truthful and honest feedback.

3. Don’t borrow money from a bank.

Unless you are absolutely 100% certain you have the next big thing, avoid the banks. Try instead borrowing from friends and family but make sure you limit the risks and the amount you borrow.

4. Avoid flash cars and fancy offices.

When I started my first business I spent the first 3 years operating from my cellar. This was great as it allowed me to operate with very low overheads. Far too many business start-ups get flash cars and nice offices when they really do not need them. If you do buy a flash car, pay cash for it!

5. Be patient.

Don’t rush your business. It must be an enjoyable experience. When I first started my business I wanted it to be huge as soon as possible; this as a mistake. I have now been going for 7 years and it is a successful venture and very profitable. I put the success to eventually realising that all good things come to those who wait. Be patient, be meticulous and be very careful who you work with!
