if you need to start a business you should look deep into your experience ,any business you start you should be experienced in and have a good knowledge of your market .

starting a business with no prior experience is suicidal.

Very mind –stirring question Fida!

 

You have the money? Great! Now, wait! Be patient, careful and thorough without losing your sense of adventure and creativity to invent or innovate.

You've the greatest of obstacles to entrepreneurship moved out of your way, don’t put obstacles yourself. Don’t rush into thinking that having capital will make any business idea revel in success.

 

  1. Consult your mind and your character. Will you be the captain of your business? Then you must choose of a type of business that fits your character? Will you be the business owner only and leave day-to-day leadership to someone else from day one? Then, your scope of choices should involve the choice for the best leadership too.
  2. Conduct generalist brainstorming research about "gaps in the market". What's new, hot, successful, durable, international, expandable or secure, depending on your own imagination of how your business should be like in3-5 years.
  3. Don’t limit yourself to your local or national borders. See what others are doing oversees and take the possible advantage of being first in your own territory.  
  4. Know your future competitors and current inspiration sources. Visit the website and if needed physical locations of existing companies that you wish you've started. There is no shame in copying and improving existing idea's and being a starting probably inexperienced entrepreneur, you will learn a lot from others about what you can and cannot do, without re-inventing the wheel.
  5. Network with people, visit business seminars at your local chamber of commerce, join business clubs, connect online, visit universities (yes, universities!) and don’t disqualify anyone from being a source of inspiration.
  6. Narrow down your research to specified sectors or markets of choice and make your research thorough this time.
  7. Consult country, market and sector reports from official entities to entrench yourself in the statistical side of your endeavor.
  8. Write down your business ideas in non-official formats and see whether it makes sense, once written down.
  9. Write a feasibility study. Does it still make sense?
  10. Draw up a pilot business-plan. Does it still make sense? 

 

If yes, then congratulations you're on your way to conceptualize what used to be a dream/idea.

  1. You can research on probable business you can/should start based on market needs if you have the time and will to do so.
  2. Team up with a firebrand with phenomenal ideas and vision and work out your share in the end product.
  3. Invest in a business that has excellent growth prospects but lacks proper funding.

if you have money then go for franchisee opportunity business.  The franchisor will choose business according to your budget and place where u want to start the business.  They have so many new products to launch in the market. But the the only thing is very tough to heard is they will share the profit.

If you choose a franchisee business then no need to worry about logistics and transportation, purchasing issues. They will provide you a software to order  the products online and it will come to your doorstep to do sales

Only we have to take pressure of sales.

 

I suggest you go into the retail business chain it will sure give you survival and money

Do not chase the money. Chasing the money may only work if you enjoy the industry or business. Otherwise, I suggest choosing a niche which you have full interest and attempt to validate a product or service in that niche. If you can sell10-15 customers, then it may be worth digging deeper into that sector. Otherwise, move on to the next niche you are interested in.

 

Having money to begin with is a blessing and a portion of that money should be used to help you validate quicker. FB ads usually do the trick. You can reach you target market very quickly and see who will bite.

To get information, study the hype cycles, market reports, sales reports, govt reports, understanding people's needs/issues. For this I would approach a market research organization in that country.  If I do not have enough information then,

  1. Would decide whether I would like to take risk or play it safe with few questionaires and understand my mentality to invest
  2. If needed to play safe, would like to invest in existing FMCG/Retail/Energy industry
  3. If needed to take risk, I would look into other startups that are doing good and split my money into few startups so one of them can do good.
  4. If I have enough money, then I would surely go into other countries for business expansions at massive scales
