There is nobody that wants to start a business without having something that will serve as motivational factors. These are the driving factors. As intending business owners or traders, the following should be our driving factors in order to make a huge success of the business.

Hunger for success. The first thing to be driving an intending business owner is hunger for success. When a business owner is hungry for success, he will be embarking on every act that will make his business a huge success. Desire to be different. A business owner must learn how to be different. Our uniqueness in handling what others handle always show us to be good administrators. There is always competition in business but the ability to play the game differently will determine the success of a business.

Innovative. The last point I will mention here is innovative. An intending business man should be innovative. He should learn how to think beyond the box. He should try as much as possible to be proactive rather than active.

With all these factors, I think an intending business man will surely be a successful ones.

That's another factor I omitted. Quality products always market and advertise business more than the real advertisement. When you are known for selling quality goods and products at affordable prices, people will come far and wide to patronize you. This is also another factor to be considered.

Very good write-up up there and well outlined. Business is not something someone will just rush into without having business strategies and knowledge. Certain factors must be considered before going into business.

yes this is a good factors to be considered as you have just said but sometimes you need to put your profit into consideration and not to make sure that you satisfied customers and be at lost, you should not also look for so much profit because these are the things that bring down business especially for a start.

That's nice but sometimes, as a new business owners, you can satisfy your customers at your own expenses. This is how to build trust. That's why you see young business owners running promos in the first month of their business. They don't mind running at loss in the first year of their business.

I know that there are many factors to consider like the market, the location, the type of product or service, etc. But for me the most salient element before starting a business is capital. I have experienced making a start up with not enough capital that even on the first month of operation there was already pressure brought about by the tight cash flow.

having a good marketing strategy in a good location is one of the best thing you need to consider before you think of going into any type of business because a good marketing strategy in an highly populated location will determine how your business will go and also capital is very important

A person that is looking at starting a business must consider factors like capital, must have a good business plan many people go into business without having a good business plan which will affect the business as time goes on, one must be determined and also creative too.

Being innovative will enable one to crave better ways to attract customers. Innovative mindset is what an entrepreneur needs to keep the pace with future business demands. An entrepreneur needs to find ways to improve his or her business by adding more on demand products, how to reach to customers needs on time, makes his or her products more eye catching, and attractive to people, and have diverse strategies to manage his or her business long time.

well most of the time the location of a particular business is always my main concentration because it is the location that will determine our success ,if i think of into a business I go in a location that is highly populated, then from there map out everything that is necessary to make my business successful.

The basic factors to consider before starting a business is the location, and the type of products people of that location like to consume, secondly is amount of capital needed to start up the business thirdly is to have in mind that if you want to make more sales you have to reduce the price of your product do not unnecessarily increase the price of a product

location of the business and the amount of money to start up a business is always one of the most important factors that consider before I think of going into any business because naturally you need to set up a business in a location that is highly populated and you must have this available before you even think of moving to the next step.

There are a lot of things that one needs to consider when starting a business. The first thing is to consider the right location for your business a lot of businesses have failed because the business was not sited in the right location the thing with business is that when once you miss your target audience then you have really setup the business for failure so it is always good that you look for the right location.

Another consideration is your business capital it's not just about money but assets that you need to get that will help you make more money. you need current assets and fixed assets apart from money which is physical cash to run your business.Another thing to consider is the skills needed to drive the business having a successful business is more than just copying another another business ideas you need to be sure that you have the skills to run the specific business you want to run.
