A Brand is like an identity of your business and what you want to be known for in your business. The brand develops due to strong positioning in the market. For example, if you are selling a product X and you want to be known as the product to be exclusive and affordable by only some certain people that are privileged. This promotes the brand as an expensive and high-quality product. A brand generates a recall value in the mind of your customers and your business will gain some fixed customers that will keep giving you recurring revenues.

The most common way can be patenting your business idea so nobody can copy your idea and give you competition in your own business. Another way can be to empower your partners, manufacturers, and networks by providing them with proper profit-making opportunities and taking care of their needs. They will be loyal to you and will do deals with just you. This makes it tough for any competitor to enter your business area and give you competition. Entry barrier can be created by entering the business first and gaining the loyalty of your customers so your competitor can never gain the same customers that you already have.

You can take exclusive rights of a product if your business is distribution so only have the exclusive rights to sell a product. If you are a big company you can buy raw materials in bulk. This ensures low production cost which means you can offer your customer a lower price than your competitor.
