Africans have some of the most positive attitudes toward entrepreneurship in the world. They’re admired in Africa. And yet, most start-up businesses fail within the first four years. Every year ambitious entrepreneurs close the doors on their dreams. Why?



There are many contributing factors to why small businesses go under in Africa. Starting a business for all the wrong reasons is the first mistake. Starting a business isn’t easy, and it’s not something you should attempt out of desperation. Yes, you’re beginning your enterprise intending to make money, but your business should exist for more than profit alone. A deeper reason will be the difference that gets you through the tough days.

PLAN AHEAD

When you’re developing a business, you are building the entity that will produce maize meal. Many entrepreneurs focus on the product too much when they should focus on building the business. A mill is a considerable investment. No business can afford to choose the wrong mill. It’s one of the most important decisions you will make that could make or break your business. And most entrepreneurs do not have the start-up capital to afford any errors.

One sure-fire way of avoiding that mistake is with a Roff mill. Our mills are class-leaders with superior extraction rates and durability. With us, you have the means of making a high-quality product that your customers will line up for. It’s still a crucial part of your business, but once you know how you will make a great product, you must turn all your attention to how you will be profitable. The only way to do that is with a solid business plan.

In many cases, businesses fail because of a lack of planning. A business plan lays out how the company will run and make a profit. This stage is often overlooked, and without it, success will always stay a dream.
