Introduction of a New Venture Creation Our aim- to engage with SimVenture; a business simulation that allowed us to build and sell computers through our virtual company named ‘Genesis’.

Before incurring any shortage of storage space, Genesis was relocated onto bigger and more favourable premises with 1000 square feet of space, gaining a better image within the first year coupled with enhancement of our customer pool. We continued to purchase tools, office equipment, furniture, and transport so that the employee to resource ratio was not distorted to lower productivity.

Despite of the fact that doing a simulation was our full challenge as first year students in the business diploma, we have enjoyed this practical learning experience. As we could involve ourselves during the BizCafé simulation, we have improved our knowledge of vital business factors and teamwork effects.

Therefore, through this summary, we would like to firstly focus on important aspects when starting up a business such as business and team organization, decision making, and team management. Secondly, we will describe noticeable factors when running a business as management, operations, marketing.

It is not always easy to find the money to launch a new business. Traditional business loans are normally not an option for a fledgling business; lenders prefer to make loans to companies with established records of sales and expenses.

Caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place, many entrepreneurs wonder whether personal loans can and should be used to start a new business.
