Warning Signs of business failures:

Failure rarely comes unawares. More often than not failure when it appears sends warning
signals that are easy to observe for the smart Mangers. Failure attacks and crushes most
businesses for either of two reasons. The manager is unaware of the major indicators of business
failure the manager notices the indicators but ignores them the first reason is common;
ordinarily, and will certainly not ignore any indicators of impending doom. But most don’t know
these signs and this ignorance is what makes their businesses fail.
Do you know these indicators? There are many of them, but here are the five major ones:

1. Reduced Demand:
This could be because either products or services are not up to the expected standards or
they are just too expensive compared to those of rivals. However, there may be other
reasons for this. When best customers are buying less than they usually do, it’s a sign that
business is heading for a halt. When finding it hard to attract new customers to business,
it shows business isn’t catchy enough and will fail anytime soon.

2. Threatening Competition That Just can’t Beat:


When new rivals break into market with brand new ideas that pale into insignificance, or
when competitors introduce killer innovative strategies that can’t beat in ten years, your
business will most likely fail. As the competition gets thicker, you soon lose all your
customers to your rivals, and your business soon peters out of market.

3. Lost Passion:
Passion breeds the zeal and determination to make things work. It keeps focused even
when many obstacles are in way. It keeps hopeful that success will come sometimes later.
But when lose passion, lose optimism too. And when no longer optimistic, business will
most likely fail.

4. Complaints From Customers:


Nobody likes to pay for ordinary services. We all want value for the cash we pay for any
product or service. So, it’s normal that we complain when they fall below our
expectations. Only unsatisfied customers complain. And in most cases, customers aren’t
willing to give a second chance after a disappointment. When start receiving too many
complaints from customers that’s a sign soon be closing business. Customers will go
elsewhere.

5. Mistakes:
Not learning from past mistakes is one of the shortest routes to failure, as you’ll keep
falling into the same mistakes over and over. Never wait till fall into mistakes before
learning. Rather, learn from other people’s mistakes to avoid falling into the same
mistakes.
All these indicators bring about one result reduced profits. When profit reduces business melts
gradually to its end. Always check business for these signs and never be hit unawares. It won’t
hurt if conduct the check every week. The more frequently check, the less likely it is that
business will fail.
