Get legal stuff sorted
Before you can start trading, you need to make sure that you are legally able to. You will need to get a trading license and adhere to all other business and manufacturing regulations in order to continue with your business. If you don’t and are found out, then you could face being shut down. So, it’s a good idea to spend a couple of months before you launch to ensure that you have all of your business’s legal things ironed out and signed off.
Start recruiting early on
Ideally, you should have recruited for all of your open positions before you open the doors of your new business.
So, as recruitment can often take a while, it’s a good idea to get the ball rolling at least a couple of months in advance. This will give you a good chance to go through a couple of rounds of interviews to ensure that you find the right people for your company.
You should look for new hires who already have experience in the manufacturing industry as these will take a lot less training to get settled in.
Don’t have the time for all this hiring? Don’t worry; there are lots of recruitment consultancies out there who can take over this for you.
Hopefully, all of these tips will help you get your new manufacturing business off to a very smooth start. Good luck for the future.
