Start a business of your own with an idea, and a bit of
imagination. Starting a business can be a difficult decision
that you are not sure if you have what it really takes to be
an entrepreneur. Don't worry; everyone starting out, in
building any type of business has those same thoughts to
some degree.
How are you going to become self-employed and start a
business of your own?
First, you should think about how you can start a
business. You can start a business from scratch, and this
means without buying any type that is already
established. This is one of the riskiest paths of self-
employment but one that many have done successfully in
the past. Every day new restaurants, retail outlets, stores,

service centers and the like are being established, fresh
and new to the market. This is your clean slate, where
you start your own reputation; your own name in the
industry, and you put forth your own thoughts and ideas
into the business world.
The advantage to your own start up business is you will
learn from your mistakes, making changes on the way. If
you were to hire the wrong type of employees, or if you
have the wrong location, you can change these things.
You make the decisions; no set patterns or ideas you must
follow to get additional sales for your business.
Another way you can start a business is to purchase an
existing business. You can purchase an existing business
and start in the industry with a reputation and customer
base already established. You will thrive in business, as
you will be following an established pattern of business,
and ideas, selling products and services already known in
the marketplace.

The advantages to purchasing an established business are
that you will gain the reputation of the business you take
over. You will have a client base that will know and
recognize the product, service, and the business name.
The existing location is an added bonus, saving you time,
money and errors as you learn while starting out in any
business.
You have yet another choice in starting a business, and
that choice involves purchasing a franchise. Your choices
are vast in starting a business. If you want to start a
business where the volume of people is high, purchasing a
franchise could just fit your expectations perfectly. You
will have a well-known business name; a reputation that
will draw customers, and a business plan to follow that will
enable you to be successful while still being your own
boss.
The advantages of purchasing a franchise involve that you
will have a set business idea to follow, along with a name
that will bring customers, sales along with a well-known
business name. You gain access to the parent company
marketing and advertising as well as being able to fall

back on the skills that others in the franchise have already
obtained so you can draw upon this expertise to
strengthen your own business.
