(i) Do I have the capability to start the investment without borrowing money?
Nowadays, borrowing is another thing that kill most businesses, because when you borrow and your return is not as expected, you are in trouble.

It is better to borrow to expand your working business, it is not ideal to borrow at start up.

(ii) Consider the market.

(iii)Consider the return on the investment.

I agree.You might not be accurate but if you fail to consider the markets size,target group,preferences...you will probably even get the ROI wrong.Just look at apple,microsoft and the pc industry it was all about the right market.
Uncertainty is certain.Let go

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

By 'consider the market' do you mean understand what the market needs first then choose the product to fill a gap or have the product first then look for a suitable market or do you also mean weighing the competitive edge?

I'm asking this because I have always believed that there's always a ready market if you apply the correct formula especially in the service industry, wouldn't you say?

BBI will solve it

Some businesses you just have to borrow. Maybe the amount you borrow is debatable.

Or save to start, if you can. The above list is to me, just "an ideal situation".

I always endeavor to trade with other people's money.

Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.
