What Means Business Opportunity?

Dear Reader and Friend

In general a business opportunity means the sale or lease of any equipment, product or service –whatever you offer. You as a buyer of a business opportunity will have a location or the products you offer for sale.

Business opportunities in the online world are quite common. First of all you don’t need any special location. You can offer or sell your products, or service or equipment from any location and or even from your own home. The only thing you need is a computer.

The business opportunity differs a lot from the sale of an independent business, where there is no permanent relationship required by the seller. The business owner purchases the products and sells them in his own shop. An online business opportunity is even more convenient for the buyer because he doesn’t need a special location – he can sell from every edge of the globe.

The pros of an online business opportunity

When buying a business opportunity you are in constant contact with the seller. In most cases he provides you with your store (website), he supports you for your start up until you are as much independent to walk on your own. But even then he keeps supporting you because the more success you have, the more success the seller has. A business opportunity is a win-win situation for both parts.

The uses of toll-free telephone numbers make it difficult for the customers to identify the company’s real geographical location. A common type of business opportunity in the off line world is to sell bulk vending machines. This type of transaction is more difficult for the buyer because he has to keep physical products and if he does not sell the products fast or if he does not have a good location he’ll not recover his investment.

A business opportunity in the online world has less risk as you are not involved with physical products – you only offer the products and the seller takes care of the shipping. Even so, you have all the product selection but only on your website. You don’t need a warehouse to store the products.

A business opportunity can also be a multi-level marketing business. When purchasing a business opportunity it is important to research as much as possible to get the most information about the business opportunity you like to get involved with.

What are the basic elements of a business opportunity? According to Wikipedia there are certain elements which have to be present before a business opportunity can be claimed as such.

The four elements are:

There must be a need
The means to fulfill need.
A method to apply the means to fulfill the need
A method to benefit

With anyone of the elements missing, a business opportunity may be developed, by finding the missing element. The more unique the combination of these elements, the better is the business opportunity. The more control an individual business owner has, the better he is positioned to exploit the opportunity and become a leader in his market.
