Over the years, many businesses have been started out of frustration at the way services are provided in established sectors. Whether its grocery store or a travel company, some small businesses have made a mark on their communities by focusing on providing better quality and innovative services.
Lavajet, a waste management company that was started operations in Italy in 1990, is an example of a small business that has grown to become a major player in the waste sector. Under the leadership of Giancarlo Vedeo, who is one of the firm’s founding employees, the company has branched to countries like the United States and Middle East. Even with more offices, the core management team has managed to keep the innovative spirit that has brought them success.
The following lessons can be useful for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Have a mission
For Lavajet, the mission was to shake things up in the waste sector and provide valuable services. Entrepreneurs getting into business have to ensure they provide something of value to their customers, and keep a fun spirit all the way.
Company structure
Ensure that you have the right structure for the business. Let everyone be clear on their roles and responsibilities, and don’t shy from relying on partners to help you grow the business. For example, a good relationship with a supplier could help you expand without spending too much capital.
A good management team
Have the right people running the ship. It’s not easy to get it right at first. Many businesses fall flat because they don’t identify the people who can help them grow.
Giancarlo Vedeo has proven himself a manager worthy of leading Lavajet. He’s helped expand the company’s operations, not to mention adopt innovative waste management practices in all their locations.
