Mobilising Resources
for
Start-up

ambition of meeting consumers’ or market’s
needs by developing innovative products,
services and processes, it may be called a
start-up or a start-up company/venture. It is

survive without resources and therefore
arrangement and mobilisation of resources is
the key function of an entrepreneur.
