If you are starting a business from scratch, rather than buying a business or franchise, you don't
necessarily have to invest a large amount of money into your start-up.
Many successfull entrepreneurs started up 'on a shoestring'. It is a sad fact that many people have
never considered starting a business because they have held the belief that self employment is out of
their financial grasp. RUBBISH.
There's no denying that substantial initial investment can be a great help, but money is not the only
factor.
It takes courage and financial resources to have the confidence to leave a secure job, career and
regular wage in the wake of a new business venture, but there are other options...
Some businesses can be started and run on a part time basis, thus allowing you to maintain regular
earnings while the venture picks up speed.
Planning and carefully thinking it through can minimize risks. It is unwise to overstretch yourself.
Be prepared to invest a lot of time into your business, success needs dedication. Make sure you have
the full support of your family.
