Ultimately, the success of your start-up will come down to many factors, including your own abilities, the readiness of the market you wish to enter and how you are going to finance your launch.
Before you jump straight in, it’s important to research every element of your new business idea and develop a business plan. The research stage is where you can take a step back and consider the feasibility of your idea, and also ask yourself if you have what it takes to make it a success.
