  • What and what will the product and services be and what will be different from what others are doing, this is because people are already in that line of business you want to start, so the question will now be where are they lagging behind and how can I satisfy the customer better than the other vendors or owners to win their confidence.
  • How do I advertise my business in a challenging environment were so many businesses are thriving while some are failing.
  • Business location – the business should be located in such a way that customers can have access and should be easy to locate. For example, someone who has a factory should have a warehouse or wholesalers close to the market or an area accessible to customers and as such will be able to advertise his/her product in the market. This is why many product producers have wholesalers in different states and location as they cannot operate at many locations at the same time.

No one can successfully manage what he/she does not have knowledge of, if not it is called dabbling and as such may cause the business to fail even before it started. This is the reason learning and understanding the line of business one is venturing into is of great importance. While learning that, the need to learn places to get good product at a cheaper rate.
