One should also consider environmental factor. This is very necessary and important to because business can not atandvon it own alone without the influence or interact with its environ. One needed to check may be there is competitors around which can hinder or affct the growth of the business. Most people don't used to do that and latter fail in the business because thos customers might not patronized its business since its new to the environment.

There are a lot of factors to be considered before choosing a business to do. One of them is the factor of who are the targeted or potential customers; where can they be found and what's their taste, this will really help in the choice of business. In addition you really also need to consider the knowledge you have about that particular business or how accessible is the enough knowledge to start and succeed in it. It is also important to give consideration to the available finance,this will give one an idea what business and how big one will start.

Before investing in any business I think one factor you should consider and check mate is the government policy regarding the business , because there are some policies that the government may make and the policy would suit the business and help develop the business more ,while some policy may be too strict for the business to grow

Definitely your.points are valid. If we need to choose a business wisely then knowing about the future prospect of the business is very important. You need to consider that you can actually hold the business up even in the future to avoid failure. Everything that is done now should be towards good success of the business

I totally agree with you a business above every other thing first is a profit making venture and the number one thing to consider is if the business will bring the needed profit. How will one get the targeted audience to make the profit all of these need to be considered before choosing a business

I have been saying this on a lot of forums and sometimes I feel that I am too much repeating but I m saying this again. The only thing you need to consider before you choose a business is to see if the market is saturated or not. If you want to sell the same product that a lot of businesses are selling, you do not have any chance.

Yeah this is one very important factor to consider to avoid being redundant in the market. A market that is already saturated is always difficult to penetrate unless is coming with a never seen style and format. So it is a factor if not checked properly can ruin a business

In any business that you plan to make a start up the financial details would be very important. Sometimes the computation of the capital is not accurate particularly with the incidental expenses like the ordered product is not delivered on time so you have to hire a transport vehicle because the business cannot wait for the delivery.

Sure the finance which is like the capital of the business must be taken into consideration when starting a business. One thing business starters fail to understand is that one shouldn't think about profit at least for the first three months. Channel the energy first in.generating more profit to run the business adequately

It is very important to do market research before you can said you want to start building a business. Market research will give you the opportunity to discover some of the weaknesses of your competitors and how to exploit them. A well written and detailed business plan is also needed for you to succeed in building business.

One of the many things I do think that needs to be considered before going into a business is for one to take a research to ascertain the number of people who already in the business and how competitive they are because they will eventually turn up to be our competitors in future, if they are just too many then I wouldn't recommend it. You should sort for lucrative businesses with lesser rivals.
