Most traditional businesses cost thousands, if not tens of thousands to get started. You might have looked into franchises, or manufacturing a product, or even starting an office with a professional skill. All of those require equipment, staff, rent, and unexpected expenses you didn t even plan. The overhead alone is usually an under estimated cost.
The capital required runs around $100,000 $250,000 minimum. The time it takes to have a positive return on investment is usually around 3 5 years. Sometimes, and frequently, I m sad to say most new business owners never see a positive return on investment. I know because I have been there in the past.
