			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been watching the latest series of a show called the &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221;. There have been some great ideas that have gotten the backing of the &#8220;Sharks&#8221; or the investors. This panel of entrepreneurs sit back and let struggling owners come to them to pitch their ideas for a portion or stake in the company. I have seen some great ideas that with the right vision and plan could probably do very well. The problem with most small businesses is that do not spend enough time up front with a <a href="http://www.growthink.com/businessplan">business plan writer</a> that has expertise in the matter to understand the market conditions and what to ask for when going to the bank or outside investors so they have limited capital and end up having to sell the business. With some simple steps and planning you can anticipate potential hazards of starting up your business and reach your long term success goals.</p>
