Which is the most important requirement when starting a business?

a)Capitalb)Business Ideac)Knowledge of the business

The level of success in any investment,market or business depends on the extent to which you have control.The less control you have, the more risky the investment.

Scenario:Imagine a woman that owns a hair-dressing

salon at a very good location who does not know how to make hair but relies on the employees

The more you know about what you are going into the better your chances of succeeding at it.The more knowledge and experience you have, the stronger your position and control at your disposal

If you go into a business without sufficient knowledge,experience(including market intelligence,etc) you are essentially gambling

If you don’t know who your clients are, how to reach them, what they really want and how to deliver it to them to meet and exceed their expectations, you are leaving things to chance
