💡 Starting Fresh vs. Buying Proven
Starting your own venture gives full control — but also full risk. Buying an established business offers customers, staff, and revenue from day one.
| Buying a Business | Starting from Scratch | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | 1–2 months | 6–12 months |
| Risk | Lower (proven model) | Higher |
| Cost | Higher upfront | Lower upfront |
| Profitability | Immediate | Delayed |
🧠 Key Takeaway
If you want immediate cash flow, buying is smarter. If you crave creativity and lower entry cost, start from scratch.
