Antecedent
Antecedent is very important as it will tell you about the people behind the business you want to invest your money into. it is very important to note that those who are behind the business I've never engage in any illegal any business in the past.

Personality
Personality about the people behind the startup business is also important. Those people must exhibit some characters needed for creating a successful business.

You are right and correct with all what you have said. Some time one need to be very sure that the business will bring good returns before investing in such a business. At time when one is about to invest in any business there are some things to put in to consideration like there operating method, monitor their Financial Statement at the end of the year so that one will be able to know whether to invest in the company or not.

Thank you so much for this valuable piece of information. I totally agree with your points mentioned above you have explained everything in a very clear way. It is true that it is a profitable sort of business and can earn good revenue if one do his homework and utilize time well in research.
I think one must personally meet the people behind such business and also check history of such people in order to avoid fraud and also in ordwer to avoid loosing money in the future.
It is nothing wrong to invest in business opened by young people, young people are often entusiastic and work harder to make their businesses work but it is important to check whether these people are actually reliable or not and whether they can utilize their skills well for you to generat profit in money which you have invested in the business.

Though I do not have a fancy work or term use to classify this, but one thing you need to look out for before investing in a business is if you are able to do the business. There are so many people today who just go into one or two investment, only to find out it's not as easy as they thought, then they give up half way. I have a first hand experience on this. I heard about an investment some time back, and I saw how people where making good money form it, so I quickly rushed into it, only to find out that the investment was so much more than what I was told, and it's not something I can even do.

Thank you for sharing in most cases I will not likely invest in a startup business with people I do not understand except it is absolutely necessary but in normal circumstances I will not likely invoice but instead I would likely invest it with people I trust and I know we'll be able to manage the business forward for everyone to make at least a certain interest on their investment and not people that will always look for opportunity to take the little amount of money you have invested.

Yes , it is absolutely necessary for us to consider the experience of people we are investing our money with , because lack of experience in the area of the business or concentration might not likely be the best . In this case they are to use this business as their experience ground and it might leads to business failure if proper care is not taken.

A business we are to invest on must be registered with the government because this is absolutely necessary and so many investors will always neglect this fact. Failure to find out if the business is registered with the government might even be risky to our investment capital.

There are a few things you should consider before investing in a start up business. First, be sure to do your research and know the company inside and out. What is their product or service? How is it different from what's already out there? What is their business model? How much funding have they raised so far? What are their long term goals?

Second, make sure you're comfortable with the risk. Investing in a start up is not without risk, there's no guarantee that the business will be successful. So make sure you're prepared to lose your investment, should things not plan out.

And finally, always consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions.

When you're growing your wealth, one of the best ways to do so is through investing. Investing in start-up businesses can be a great way to make money, but it's important to know what you're getting into before you begin. Here are a few things any potential investor should consider before they make a financial commitment:

Investment amount.
How much money are you willing to put down? Start-up businesses often come with a lot of risk, so it's good to only invest an amount that won't put you in a precarious financial situation if the business fails.

Type of business.
There are certain types of businesses that have higher success rates than others. Any type of business that relies on selling products or services directly to consumers is going to be more successful than one that relies on other businesses for revenue. Similarly, any business focused on providing something consumers need rather than want is likely to be more successful than one based around luxury items. It's also important to consider the nature of the product being offered. Is it a new product, or does it already exist? If it already exists, what makes this new version different and more desirable?

History and experience of founders.
It's important to consider how much experience the founders have starting their own.

Before making a move to invest in any start up, one must truly and thoroughly check the antecedence of those that intends to start up the business and how viable the business plans and ideas are. The looking through the capital base of the business will be a very good place to start aswel. As that will help to ascertain the financial strength of the business concern. This was the case with a particular start up of a friend of mine. Who had a business plan to venture into selling of drinks but he didnt has enough capital for the start up so he solicited for my help financially to support him to start up the business. The first question I put before him was how experienced he was in handling the business he wanted to start.

And then he showed me that he had gathered enough practical experience by taking me to places where he had gotten the opportunity to serve. I also enquired from him on how much he intends to use for the start up

Thank you for this wonderful piece of information for this is mind blowing. I totally agree with you because investing in a start up business can be very frustrating at the long run to the end. Putting there experience in consideration before making investment is paramount. Well, many might tell you that they have gathered lots of experiences but non to attest for. In conclusion to invest in a startup business the individual must make research base on the experiences gathered.

It is always good to invest in a promising business that you know you can make good returns from on your investment.But you would need to look at it critically to be sure that you are not going to throw away your money in the name of investment
Just like any business you want to start, you try to do feasibility study to be sure it is what you can walk through same is applicable here. Don't just throw your harf earned money around, look at some facots before you invest

Factors to consider include

the cash flow of the business: You should first that the business is making money. Look at the profit margin of the business and be sure you are comfortable with it for a start

Check the experience: You would need to check the experience level of the team you want to invest your money in their business. it will be better if they are some experts in there too. But when once all of them are amateurs you need to invest little for a start and see how it goes

Check the leadership to he sure the person can run the business to a success. Guard your money jealously.

Investing in business is one of the trending activities these days. People have come to the realization that the only thing to be done to make sure that the money is not idle, is just to make sure we invest the money in one thing or the other. We can either invest in however online or offline investments.

Before we however invest our money and to avoid being swindled of our money, we need to do some reesrches first. We need to know some information both on what we sent to invest in and even the owner of such investment. This is what most people fail to do that makes them to lose their money.

There is need to check the return on investment too. Everybody wants to invest to make money. So there is need to consider what our gain will be after investing in such an investment. If the return on investment is nothing to write home about, then there may not be need to invest in such investment.

Also, we should not be carried away to the extent that we will forget what the future holds for the investment. We should try to envisage the future of the investment we want to go for.

Before investing in a start-up business, there are actually many things to consider based on your order of preference. To me, the first thing needed is the motivation. Yes, motivation is very important and speak volume in any sphere of life. If as an individual, you have the urge to begin a business but you are pushed merely by the profit, sooner or later if you face some challenges, it is only normal that you might keep changing your line of business.


Motivation before starting a business gives you a direction and a sense of confidence that no matter the challenges faced which of course is inevitable in any business must have solutions. Secondly, the business idea should rhyme with your passion and it should be feasible enough in such a way that, it can solve the needs of the people in the location in which the business operates. Thirdly, you should be able to assess your target audience. It is a flaw to consider that virtually everyone is your target audience. Finally, the source of funding should be available ad secured. The potential business owner should be disciplined in managing funds and also be professional when dealing with customers.

It is good you know what you are getting into before financially supporting a business. The first thing to consider is the industry you want to invest in and the skills of the people running it.

For example, if you want to support a startup in the restaurant industry, you will need to understand that they are going to need money for equipment and supplies, marketing, ads and salaries. You will also want to know who they are hiring and how much they are paying their employees.

You should also ask yourself what kind of return on your investment (ROI) do you expect? What kind of financial situation do you have? Are there any other funds that can be used for this investment or does this purchase need to be a one-time expense?

Once all these questions have been answered, then it is time to make sure that everything is ready for when your money arrives. This includes making sure that all paperwork is completed and approved by both parties before handing over any assets or money.

You're probably thinking, "I want to help my friend start a business, but I'm not sure how."
When you're thinking about financially supporting a business, there are a few things you should know.

1. You should have a clear idea of what you're getting into.

2. You should have a realistic expectation of the amount of money you're going to get back from your investment, and when that money is likely to be returned to you.

3. You should be aware of how much risk there is in your investment, and if it's something that is appropriate for your financial situation and goals (just because you can afford it doesn't mean it's right for you).

4. If the business is taking on debt, make sure they explain how they plan on paying it off in the future, and how they plan on keeping their business running while they do so (this might mean they're not able to meet their current obligations/pay bills).
