Janet W Christy, author of Capitalizing on Being Woman Owned and 101 Winning Marketing Actions for Small Businesses offers her sixth annual version of the Top Ten Resolutions for Women Business Owners.

If you own a small business, you may not think that branding is a major consideration; it’s not like you’re Coca Cola or Apple, after all.  But every business can benefit from attention to building a brand, whether it operates in a small community, on a global scale, or entirely online.  And you should definitely be concerned about the brand image you’re presenting because the way you are perceived by consumers can have an enormous impact on your business, whether positive or negative.  So if you’re looking to improve your brand image in order to increase your consumer base (not to mention sales), here are just a few basics that will get your transformation underway.

While startup capital can be a tremendous benefit in helping new companies get off the ground and gain a footing in their respective markets, too many small business firms go under because their owners failed to understand how best to “pitch” their business to potential lenders and/or investors. Even for those loan requests that are approved, many come with undesirable strings attached, such as high interest rates, investor input into how the business is operated, or disproportionate revenue sharing. Still other loan arrangements burden new business owners with heavy debt which they are unable to pay back due to insufficient revenue.
