Business Consulting may be started in number of areas on the basis of knowledge and experience in the particular field. Few of the areas for Business Consultancy are:
Accounting
Accounting is something that every business needs, no matter how large or small. Accounting consultants can help a business with all of its financial needs. This a suitable field for qualified accountants.
Advertising
This type of consultant is normally hired
by a business to develop a good strategic advertising campaign.
Auditing
From consultants who audit utility bills
for small businesses to consultants who handle major work for
telecommunications firms, auditing consultants are enjoying the fruits
of their labor.
Business
Know how to help a business turn a profit?
If you have a good business sense, then you'll do well as a business
consultant. After computer consulting, people in this field are the next
most sought after.
Business writing
Everyone knows that most businesspeople
have trouble when it comes to writing a report--or even a simple memo.
Enter the business writing consultant, and everyone is happy!
Career counseling
With more and more people finding
themselves victims of a corporate downsizing, career counselors will
always be in demand. Career counselors guide their clients into a
profession or job that will help them be both happy and productive as an
employee.
Communications
Communications consultants specialize in helping employees in both large and small businesses better communicate with each other, which ultimately makes the business more efficient and operate smoothly.
Computer consulting
From software to hardware, and everything
in between, if you know computers, your biggest problem will be not
having enough hours in the day to meet your clients' demands!
Editorial services
From producing newsletters to corporate
annual reports, consultants who are experts in the editorial field will
always be appreciated.
Executive search/head hunter firms
While this is not for everyone, there are
people who enjoy finding talent for employers.
Gardening
In the past decade the demand for gardening consultants has blossomed (pun intended) into a $1 million-a-year business. Not only are businesses hiring gardening consultants; so are people who are too busy to take care of their gardens at home.
Grantsmanship
Once you learn how to write a grant
proposal, you can name your price.
Human resources
As long as businesses have people problems
(and they always will), consultants in this field will enjoy a
never-ending supply of corporate clients, both large and small.
(People-problem prevention programs could include teaching employees to
get along with others, respect and even violence prevention in the
workplace.)
Insurance
Everyone needs insurance, and everyone
needs an insurance consultant to help them find the best plan and
pricing for them.
Marketing
Can you help a business write a marketing
plan? Or do you have ideas that you feel will help promote a business?
If so, why not try your hand as a marketing consultant?
Payroll management
Everyone needs to get paid. By using your
knowledge and expertise in payroll management, you can provide this
service to many businesses, both large and small.
Public relations
Getting good press coverage for any organization is a real art. When an organization finds a good PR consultant, they hang on to them for life.
Publishing
If you're interested in the publishing
field, then learn everything you can and you, too, can be a publishing
consultant. A publishing consultant usually helps new ventures when they
are ready to launch a new newspaper, magazine, newsletter--and even
websites and electronic newsletters.
Taxes
With the right marketing and business plan
(and a sincere interest in taxes), your career as a tax consultant can
be very lucrative. A tax consultant advises businesses on the legal
methods to pay the least amount of tax possible.
