Executive Directory of Business Owners allows you to target individuals that own a business, corporation or firm. An owner of a business handles planning, bookkeeping, hiring, marketing, payroll and firing. As business grows, an owner learns to delegate these responsibilities, so they may focus on ensuring their company continues to succeed.
An owner must successfully communicate their vision, goals and game plan to their team. They must be able to recognize market fluctuations, remain competitive and prevent the company from becoming irrelevant. A business owner must keep a close eye on the brand and make sure that it continues to head in the right direction. Ultimately, they are responsible for the image projected by the company and for ensuring that management is laying out their goals. An owner is also responsible for hiring a successful management team that can bring a variety of skills to the business and be responsible for running the business when the owner is unavailable. They train the management team to recognize the image they want for the business to project, train the team to be respectful and considerate managers and ensure that the team understands the business' priorities. A business owner must plan for unexpected costs. They keep track of cash inflow and outflow, liabilities and assets. A business owner should be able to predict when the business will break even. Depending on the size of an owners business, they may be responsible for payroll, collecting bill payments from customers, making deals with suppliers, advertising, understanding laws related to the business and managing employee scheduling. A business owner should be easygoing, able to communicate well with others, able to receive criticisms and negative feedback from their management team and able to lead by example.
An Owner must be competent individuals who possess a thorough knowledge of their field. Interested individuals should have a combination of formal education and practical training suited to the kind of business they want to operate. A person interested in running a store, for instance, needs experience in retailing, along with high school or college courses in bookkeeping, accounting, and business. More technical training or an apprenticeship may be required to work in some fields. To open a machine shop, for example, a person must complete a formal apprenticeship and have many years of experience as a machinist. Owners should also be familiar with tax laws and with state and federal laws regulating businesses.
