Launching Your Dream Business: How Envie Helps You Save for Success

So, you’re starting (or have already started) a new business! Pretty exciting stuff! After all, small businesses make the world go ’round. Entrepreneurship is an exciting and challenging venture that, among other things, requires careful planning and financial preparation at every stage.

We know you already understand the importance of saving up for initial expenses and creating a solid financial foundation. So, let’s explore the journey of starting a new business and, specifically, how Envie can be a valuable tool to help you save for success!

The Path to Entrepreneurship

Starting a new business involves a series of steps and considerations. From developing a business plan to securing funding, each aspect requires some sort of financial investment. Here’s a breakdown of the key stages:

1. Research and Planning: Thorough research and meticulous planning are essential to set the stage for your business’s success. This phase involves market analysis, identifying your target audience, and crafting a robust business strategy.
2. Initial Expenses: Launching a business incurs various upfront costs, including permits and licenses, equipment and supplies, marketing materials, and legal fees. These initial expenses can quickly add up, making it crucial to have a financial plan in place.
3. Funding and Capital: Securing adequate funding is often a challenge for new entrepreneurs. Whether you rely on personal savings, loans, investments, or crowdfunding, having sufficient capital is vital to turn your vision into a reality.
4. Growth and Sustainability: Once your business is up and running, you’ll focus on growth and sustainability. This involves ongoing expenses, such as marketing, inventory, employee salaries, and operational costs. Effective financial management is key to sustaining and expanding your business.

Envie: Your Savings Ally for Business Success

Envie is not just about personal savings; it can also be used to help aspiring entrepreneurs save for their business endeavors! According to a study conducted by the Small Business Administration (SBA), entrepreneurs who saved at least 30% of their initial capital were 2.5 times more likely to succeed in their first five years of business.

Here’s how Envie can assist you in successfully launching and growing your dream business:

3. Customized Goals: Whether you start a $350 Challenge, a $5050 Challenge, or anything in between, you can also customize your Challenge’s name to help keep your eyes on the prize. Are you saving up for inventory, supplies, licenses or fees, a website, advertising, emergency fund, or… the list the goes on. (As an entrepreneur, you already know there’s no shortage of things that pop up that cost money!)

5. Simple & Quick: You’re a busy person.

Envie helps out by taking the time and guesswork out of saving because once you choose your 100-day Challenge, it takes fewer than 30 seconds to play each day.
