Then, figure out how you plan on making a profit after all of that is covered. - Ask why are you starting this business?
Next, think about whether or not you’re in a good position to launch this kind of business – do you have experience in this field?
Are you starting this business because you have a passion or interest, or do you think this is a ticket to get out of your job?

Every business has risks, so you need to figure out what they are and how likely they are to happen. Then, decide if those risks are worth taking. - How much time and money will it take to get started?
Lastly, estimate how much time and money it will take to get your business started. You need to make sure you have enough resources to cover all of your expenses and have some cushion in case things go wrong.
