Business objectives and their importance

Any entrepreneur starting up a business has a number of goals that they would want to achieve, which are called objectives. Over a period of time, the objectives of a business may change as the business grows or in the likely event that it faces difficulties.

The main objectives of a business are:

  • To make a profit. Owners will expect some return on the money they have invested in the business.
  • If the business is new or been expanded, then they would want survival. Survival might be the main objective if the economy is experiencing recession with high unemployment.
  • When a business is surviving, the owners will want the business to make profit by increasing sales.
  • Increase market share.
  • Beat their competition by having an excellent reputation.
  • Customer satisfaction by providing excellent service or products.
  • Providing employment for people.

    Without objectives, businesses will get nowhere and might as well not exist!
