Fluctuations in steel wire prices can affect cost of goods sold. Secure long‑term contracts or bulk purchase discounts.
Machine Downtime
Unplanned maintenance can halt production. Maintain a spare parts inventory and schedule preventive maintenance.
Compliance with Safety Norms
Ensure fire safety certificates, proper ventilation, and worker safety gear to avoid regulatory penalties.
Market Saturation
Local markets may have many suppliers. Differentiate through packaging, branding, or niche customization.
Cash Flow Timing
Initial capital is used for machinery and raw materials; sales revenue may lag, requiring working capital reserves.
