A ‘developed
concept’ for an E-Commerce company is
not the same as an ‘idea’ for an E-Commerce business.
There are tens of millions
of E-Commerce businesses on the web – many managed by
very competent business professionals. They make money. Some
make a lot of money.
There are a gazillion ideas
for E-Commerce businesses – most of which never reach
the development level of actual bandwidth. The problem for
most of the non-starters: inexperienced managers – lack
of affordable access to web professionals – shortage
of investment capital – a need to keep eating during
the design and development process.
The Internet has many of tales
of folks who hit the ‘big one’ with a web site
– got the ‘brass ring’ - and millions of
dollars through an acquisition – the next “U-Whatever”.
Those ‘visions’ of success are what drives the
dreamers. But the reality is: most of those ‘big ones’
are often done by teams of serious professionals
– with serious funding – and a very good idea
of who the buyer of the company could be when it’s finished
and operational.
If you have a developed concept
for an E-commerce company selling in a very narrow niche
– and are emotionally capable of working with investors
and management teams – you may wish to consider alternatives
to ‘doing it ALL - and financing it ALL - yourself’.
