How Can We Help?

What type of business should I start?

< All Topics

There are so many different kinds of businesses — and so many different kinds of people — that it’s impossible to give specific advice on the particular type of business you should start. Only you will be able to answer that question, but to maximize your chances of success, you should:

 

  • Choose something you enjoy doing. It’s much more difficult (and a lot less fun) to make a success of a small business that doesn’t interest you.
  • Choose a business you know intimately. Trying to learn a new industry or skill at the same time you’re getting your business up and running will add a lot of unnecessary stress to your new venture and lower your chances of success.
  • Choose a business that has a good chance of turning a profit. The best way to determine your business’s potential profitability is to prepare a “break-even analysis,” a financial projection that will estimate how easy or difficult it will be to turn a profit.
