Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Supply Chain Delays
Timber procurement can be affected by seasonal availability; secure long‑term contracts with local suppliers.
Quality Control
Wood defects or finish inconsistencies can lead to returns; implement strict QC checkpoints after cutting and finishing.
Cash Flow Management
Initial capital is heavily tied up in inventory; maintain a 3‑month working capital buffer and monitor sales cycle.
Compliance with Environmental Norms
Proper disposal of wood waste and adherence to local environmental regulations are mandatory.
Market Saturation
Local furniture markets may be crowded; differentiate through custom designs and superior finish.
