Someone putting up a business should also make inspections of places suitable for the exact business he/she wants to start, locations,cities or places where whatever goods you're selling is needed or there is high or medium demand for it.

   Refer to an area where there is little regulations,rules,taxes,licenses.A place easily accessible by any interested person...

FINDING A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA

The idea is the main thing in a business...Capitals of a business can be raised,lost and raised several times but lose the idea of a business and everything is gone.

(Gottlieb Duttweiler)

     The main idea is to put together the wants and needs of a customer and altogether passion and interests of the entrepreneur.

These ideas comes in various ways and each for it's own purpose.

Ideas like:

-what do I enjoy doing most?

-what are my hobbies/interests?

-what skills or marketing experience do I posses?

-have I ever seen a business and said to myself"I can do better?"

-Are people in my community in-need of the services/business I have in mind?

-Is there a branch or company I can connect with for support or growth?

Those above factors should be considered when making plans or finding business ideas.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF A STUPID IDEA IS MADE?

   As mentioned before,fear can bring down any stage of entrepreneurial process, Confidence is one most essential thing needed during business planning.

   A thorough research is the best way to determine if your business idea is going to be viable. It is recommended to make ideas that'll suit the environment and conditions of your business therefore making ideas that do not correspond to your idea will result to gradual/immediate failure and nobody wants that. Pick ideas or plans that are self comfortable, reliable. Sometimes it is better to learn a skill and put up achieved skills or marketing experience, make partnerships with same with businesses similar to yours if there's any available. 

  The need for new business ideas never ends.

   Even after being a successful entrepreneur and have a successful business for years, At some time whatever is being marketed may become in the eyes of your customers therefore new ideas and products need to be added,New ways to add to or improve existing products/services should be considered.

ADVICE FROM THE PROs

  - Allow research rather than opinion:- Determine the difference between a good idea, a fantasy, a scam or lousy idea.

- Be prepared to compromise:- commercial business is about service customers and not just for the interest of the business owners/owner.

- It is better to have million ideas and no money than have million dollars and no ideas:- A pile of money with no single idea to begin with will certainly be lost.

- Ignore pessimists and rely on research:- Entrepreneurs mostly succeed by breaking the rules which means going totally against conventional wisdom of people who have no proof to back their opinions.
