SMALL SCALE PRODUCTION OF Fuel Briquettes 

HOW TO GET STARTED IN YOUR OWN Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  business 

Owning a business  of your own has been the great dream of those who have wanted to be rich and successful. A great number just dream, many have tried and few have succeeded.

Owning and running your own business  will give you a strong sense of independence and achievement if you succeed. Your income will depend on how well you manage the resources of your business . If you are a competent employee now, you perhaps realize that an increase in your efficiency results more often in an increase in work load rather than in pay.

Often years of loyal service will earn you a plaque of appreciation, perhaps a gold watch and inflation eroded separation pay. The potential rewards of owning your own business  are great.

But so are the risks. As boss of and owner of a small firm you will have to work long hours and perform all the managerial functions.

In order to succeed in a small business  there are two things you must have - motivation and a market for what you are going to produce.

These are the internal and external reasons for starting your own business . You want to start your own business  because you want to be your own boss. You want more money and the intangible things and tangible things money can bring. You want to satisfy your need to achieve, to feel you have accomplished something mainly because of your own innovativeness, skill and effort. 

With your strong desire to achieve you are willing to do almost anything to attain your goals: discipline, training, hard work, planning and even compromise. And because of this desire, you will be more attuned to market opportunities open to you and you will tap these markets, more decisively and aggressively.

The fact is there is also no business  without a market. You will establish your business  because you think you have a market for your product. Your success will depend on how well you identify and understand your market.

ARE YOU READY TO START A Fuel Briquettes manufacturing Processing  business Using Leucaena As The Raw Material?

If you've decided to begin a business  manufacturing Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  processing products, growing Leucaena, manufacturing products from Leucaena or serving the Fuel Briquettes manufacturing processing industry worldwide, you're about to embark on an exciting, creative and valuable area of endeavor. You will enjoy it beyond your wildest dreams. You will make a contribution to food production in the world,

You will answer the difficult problem of world hunger. You will give security and happiness to many people. You will be doing good. And last, but not least, if you work diligently, plan, and focus on developing long term customers for your products, you'll make a lot of money.

But before you get started in your Fuel Briquettes manufacturing processing project, you need to ask yourself a few questions. And then you must honestly answer them.

Do you believe that growing Leucaena, processing Leucaena, marketing, or manufacturing Fuel Briquettes from Leucaena is important? Do you like the idea of a business manufacturing and Fuel Briquettes products? Do you really feel that they meet a real need in people? Do you think fuel and feed production is important to a person in any given situation? Do you believe if you have two loaves of bread, and a small Leucaena plantation,  you can live?

If you don't really believe these products matter at the deepest level, and you go into the Fuel Briquettes manufacturing processing business , you may make a lot of money. But you'll just make a lot of money. Your life will not be fulfilling. And your success will not last long, nor give you happiness. If you really don't like growing Leucaena or processing, don't get into this business.

Because your life will be surrounded day and night with things you don't care about and you'll be forced to endure sharing your life with hundreds, even thousands of people in the Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  Processing  field who are absolutely absorbed with Fuel Briquettes manufacturing processing and growing Leucaena plants.

They'll talk Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  Processing, they live Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  Processing,  their whole lives will revolve around and be dedicated to Leucaena production. And if you don't love them, you'll be bored stiff.

The second question is equally as vital. Do you believe you can succeed with out a great deal of capital and even knowhow? If you don't, take a look at the large Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  processing plants and growers who started from scratch. And they've created big businesses.

Take a look at the articles on the internet on briquetting, fuel production, Leucaena and fuel briquettes.  Read the stories about the entrepreneurs in the field.  They'll tell you about the old days, "Oh yes, I started with some small scale equipment. Or take a look at the India Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  industry which is now manufacturing Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  equipment and selling it all over the world. They began by the smallest scale processing with very small chippers and Fuel briquetting machinery,

Now Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  crushing in India is a large scale industry with multimillion dollar companies that now sell multimillion dollar contracts in Fuel Briquettes manufacturing in a export operation.

The fact is, if you believe in your ability to build your business up from the ground floor and you like processing Fuel Briquettes manufacturing, you are in the right business.

Even if you don't know anything about processing, or haven't much money, ISAI/LPS offers you a low cost equipment package with a complete consultancy program, and Interactive Distance Learning courses that enable you to learn while build your business . Books abound. Many people learned from watching local women process Fuel Briquettes from livestock manure.

Of course, nowadays, distance learning courses and videos are available through ISAI/LPS and other consultants. All it takes is the desire and commitment to develop yourself and the will to gain the knowledge you need. Those who want to learn at home have opportunities for learning that were never before available.

All you need is the will to win. If you want to be a processor and don't have any land, it is still not a problems. Many farmers are going out of business . Talk to your local farmers. Maybe he'll let you place your plant on his land in exchange for a part of the profits. You see lots of land in your country that isn't in productive use. You can get land. Often you see a building that is no longer being used. Use it to build your processing plant. Use them on site for a fee or buy them from the owner and tear them down, and rebuild on your land.

Begin reading every fuel processing book and agricultural book in your local library. Take notes, set up your own working notebooks of techniques for the plants you are interested in. Observe local people who buy and sell fuelwood. Get to know those people.

If you want to market do the same things. Take a course at the local university. Read books on marketing, Subscribe to business  and marketing newsletters and publications. Learn learn learn.

Another important question is, are you willing to work? Long hard hours. Can you dedicate yourself to the project and make a long term commitment to see it through? If you are lazy, don't want to work and love sitting talking with your friends for long hours, you may want to rethink your goals.

If you cannot turn tell your friends-- I've got to work in my  Fuel Briquettes business because I have customers,  can you wait a half an hour or can you help me with it -- then you are simply not suited for the plant or Fuel  Briquettes manufacturing processing business . To succeed in this business , you'll have to work hard, dedicate and commit yourself wholeheartedly to the project.

Short of money? That's not a problem for you, if you've willing to use all the resources you presently have. Everyone know who to do something. And whatever you know how to do is a usable skill. You've got skills? Barter them for things you can sell. There are many many ways. Get into the Leucaena Effect Agroforestry program as a Licensed LEEAF Associate and market ISAI/LPS products in your country.

The key issue, if you really want to be a Leucaena grower, a marketer and a manufacturer of Fuel Briquettes, such as bulk Fuel briquettes,  consumer packaged Fuel Briquettes, or even livestock feeds you can learn starting from where you are right now. And if you are willing to pay the price, you can do it and make a good life and a good living out of it.

The number one fact you'll understand as you begin and work with your Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  Processing  business is marketing your products should begin even before you start to produce them. It is vital that you begin with two written plans:

a) a general business  plan

b) a marketing plan

For a successful Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  Processing  business  you need to start with these two plans. That means you need to set down some definite action steps and begin on them right away.

For starting a Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  Processing business , there are many opportunities at every level of capital availability. The key issue is this - get started now! Your Fuel Briquettes manufacturing processing products can sell in your local area, your country and eventually by export.

WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU AS AN Fuel Briquettes manufacturing PRODUCER?

Market opportunities will always be there but your success as an entrepreneur revolves on this equation 

OPPORTUNITY = NEED + CAPABILITY

As an entrepreneur you will have to conceive the idea of the business  market oriented, design the organization of the firm, accumulate capital, recruit labor, establish relationships with suppliers, customer and the government and convert the conception into a functioning organization.

In order to accomplish these tasks you need among others, initiative, leadership, positive attitude towards people, organizational ability, decisiveness, perseverance and physical energy.

Basically in identifying and exploiting the business opportunities that come to you as an Fuel Briquette manufacturing producer, you have to consider two things:

1) the present and future needs of your customers, staff, and the business 

2) your capabilities, in terms of personal characteristics, background, training, experience, education, contacts and resources

Granted that you have chosen to develop an Fuel Briquettes manufacturing business  because there is a need for Fuel BRIQUETTES in your local area, you must now organize and raise the needed capital.

LET'S START BY ORGANIZING YOUR business 

1. CHOOSING THE LEGAL FORM

The choice of a legal form will depend on many factors. If you the entrepreneur have money, experience and an idea, you may decide to be a sole proprietor. If you have money and an idea, you may decide to bring in a partner who is an expert in a different area. If you have an idea but lack money, you may take on a partner or form a corporation. The services of a lawyer are necessary in forming a partnership or corporation.

Let's take a look at these three types of organizations so you can decide what is best for you: 

a) sole proprietorship

• one person is sole owner 
• you have unlimited personal liability for business  debts
• your business  terminates on your death
• you have more freedom from government control

b) Partnerships

• two or more person are owners
• partners rights and duties are defined by partnership agreement
• at least one partner must have unlimited liability for debts of the firm
• there is the capacity of one partner to bind others when acting within the scope of business 
• partnerships terminate on death or withdrawal of one or more partners

c) Corporations

• stockholder are owner who are distinct and separate from the corporation itself
• continue unaffected by death or transfer of stock shares
• limited financial liability for stockholders
• subjected to more government control than partnerships or sole proprietorships
• often may be taxed more highly

2) RAISING THE NEEDED CAPITAL

You've already decided to go into the Fuel BRIQUETTES manufacturing business . Now you need to estimate the capital requirements. You need money not only to start your business but you must have enough in reserve (working capital) to carry on the business until it is self supporting -- which may take one to six months or even more. 

The capital requirement or project costs to start your business may be classified into some or all these areas 

• land and equipment
• buildings and improvement
• machinery and equipment
• furniture, furnishing and fixtures
• pre- operating organizational expenses
• working capital

The fixed capital requirements may be reduced as follows:

1) only improvements may be necessary if you already own the land and building

2. lease or rent land, building and equipment, rather than purchase

3. purchase secondhand instead of new machinery and equipment

4. buy on installment

5. build rather than buy ready made e.g furniture

6. substitute labor for equipment by purchasing only that which is necessary and using labor whenever possible. Labor saving equipment may be purchased later when funds permit

7. assemble rather than manufacture

8. buy an existing business 

The working capital requirement may be reduced by:

1. keeping inventory to the barest minimum -- however you risk having unmet customer orders or work stoppages

2. restricting sales to customers who will pay cash on delivery or within a brief credit period

3. scheduling production to produce saleable products in the least amount of time

4. operating in whole or in part as subcontractor to a larger firm which may supply the raw material

5. Purchasing materials and supplies who will give good prices or favorable credit terms

Of course when adopting any shortcuts, look for the pitfalls.  Once you have made the decision that you can develop your own Fuel Briquettes manufacturing  business, form your company and get the capital you need, it is time to learn about the technical aspects of Fuel Briquettes manufacturing.
