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.
