Business:
Business Purpose;
What is your motivation for this business? (100 words)
Every business has a purpose. The business purpose is different from Mission, vision and values. Your business purpose is why you are running your business.

Your business purpose is the reason you have formed your company boiled down to a single sentence (or two). It can be industry-specific or general enough to include ancillary and future business activities.

Writing a business purpose statement comes down to answering one important question: why is your company in business?

The purpose of your company is to provide a certain service or product to your clients. The statement of purpose should, therefore, illustrate how you will improve the lives of those you serve.

Not only is a business purpose statement a good thing to have, but it can also provide a competitive advantage over companies without such a statement. Also, the purpose can be used as a guide to dictate company actions. If a certain decision does not align with the business’s statement of purpose, it shouldn’t be acted on.

Examples of Business Purpose Statement
See 2 (two) examples of Business purpose statement in complete form in our E-book guide (https://teepguide.com/tef-2019-ebook-guide).


Other Business Details
The next step is to fill your Business/Company Name, Street Address of the Business, State/Province/Region of the Business, City/Town of the Business, Postal Code of the City/Town, the Business Website and then some important questions below.

While your business may not yet be operational or registered, it is important to fill in this information.

If your business is still in the idea stage, please indicate where your business would be registered/situated. If your business is existing, please indicate the name of the country where your business is registered.
