BUSINESS
STRUCTURE
CHECKLIST
Hi there,
My name is Tracy Uwom
I am the founder of Saint Tracy
Enterprise.
Over the years I ran my business like every new entrepreneur without
knowing exactly how things should be done, I only knew there was a need
for my products, and so I sold wedding and engagement rings.
However the business began to grow and everything internally was out of
place. I had to pause and went to get the solution to organizing my Business
which I now want to teach you. I help small business owners to organize
and create independence for their business and themselves. I have ran 2
successfully businesses for over 10 years.
I have attended courses at Lagos Business School, where I obtained
certification on entrepreneur management, I attended Tara Fela Durotoye
master classes on structure, I have now implemented the solutions in my
company, and experienced the results I now teach.
With these solutions I have been able to scale my business from one shop to
4 physically owned shops in 3 states in Nigeria, and other distribution
channels which we run all at the same time! I have helped over 50
businesses in the past and now ready to help more people achieve success
from the problems that are peculiar to small businesses in scaling and
structuring.

help you identify the core problems and the next steps to take to solve the
problems.

What are Business Structure
Documents?
They are documents that contain Procedures and Policies they
serve as a working guide for structured companies and companies
that want to build a structure.
We have different documents for different purposes, while some
are documents or forms of documentation that records expected
employee behavior and workplace requirements to maintain an
orderly, fair workplace in which employees know what is
expected from them. Others are for administrative purposes; they
are mostly about an employee’s performance which will guide the
employer on whether to discipline, terminate, fairly promote,
reward, or recognize an employee. Without documentation,
making a case for any of these actions is difficult, and potentially
risky for the employer. Business owners are encouraged to have
all necessary business structure documents/Forms so as to build
smooth, productive and pace setting brands.
