My notes from the U.S. Embassy Zambia American Spaces Entrepreneurs Meeting 🙂.

The Panel:

BUK- C.E.O Benjamin Chimbalanga Katubiya

1. It keeps ringing in my head. Personal expenses must be separated from Business financials. Most local Entrepreneurs are still stuck in this vicious cycle of receiving and spending.

2. Funding is available and it starts from looking for it from your friends and family. Sell your vision to people who will believe in you. Yes, the banks will not give you capital if your a start up but there are many other alternatives. Personal Savings, Village Banking groups, Business Incubators like 'Bongo Hive' will be good for Skills Capital and more.

3. To be considered for funding your business structure must be made up. You must be able to show that the business model actually does work, that is show that the model can generate money and sustain the business affairs. So start working on the business model now!

4. Sounds generic but you must believe in yourself. Stop looking at what your neighbour business is doing. Focus on what your heart and your brain is telling you. See it right through to the end.

5. An unfortunate truth is that as Zambia's, we have a poor business attitude when it comes to Business research. We do not read. We do not study insights. We do not know what's happening in our very own business sectors. Knowledge is Power, right! Research and be insightful to the trends, the numbers, the events, the opportunities and more.

Dear Zampreneur:

Re: Your Business Money Vs. Your Personal Money

A real reason, relevant to too many businesses failure lies in separating the owners affairs from the affairs of the business. A common statement in the Zambian setup that we hear is "Na Broka". This happens because when our parents need money we draw from the business. When our spouse is sick we lean on the business funds. When a funeral occurs we look to the company coffers. While emergencies are really pressing, this is a wrong common practice for too many business people today.

To allow any business to grow some consistent re-investments must be practiced. For your start up business to grow you must deprived yourself certain luxuries while you cannot afford them. How can you separate the business from you and your affairs?

1. Open a Business Bank Account. All business receipts and payments must pass through this account. Open a Savings Account into which a fixed principal amount (that earns interest) must be deposited from a determined period to period basis.

2. Hire a skilled Accountant or Bookkeeper. Somebody who is specialized in managing money and can effectively control your funds on your behalf will act as a good internal control in separating you from the business money.

3. Ascertain a Directors Salary. Allow yourself a salary and allowances as the business grows. This should not be a financial constraints on the business but an amount the business can sustain. Let your salary be fixed for a period, that is to say, even if your Sales revenue or profits increased, your salary would remain the same for the fixed period.

4. Nurture Financial Discipline. Monitor your personal lifestyle. Do not seek attention in your family or friends circles. Humble yourself. Spend on a budget deliberately. Say no because you cannot afford to spend.

5. Write down your Business Goals. When your business goals are clear your mind will be tuned to achieving them. Your goals can stop impulse spending.
