There are millions of business opportunities which one can invest in. The main reason why new businesses fail is because many investors put their money in opportunities which they can not identify with. It is not how good the opportunity looks, but how much will you earn and how safe it is.
Every opportunity that comes your way is not for you. I have seen people failing in a particular business and close down, while others succeed in the same business and conditions. Now, what happens? The truth is that there is no magic in business. If you can not succeed in it, look for another. The problem is identifying the other because may end up in another mess.
In coming up with the best opportunity, there are specific factors that you have to put into consideration. First, it is obvious that you will look at the returns. Thou this might be the main consideration, do not be quick to invest on this grounds only.
The risk factor is also important. You must know how big the chances for survival of your business are. Of course, high risk businesses earn much profit. But remember that it may be too risky that you end up loosing even before you get any returns.
You must consider the government policy on the business. Some businesses like drug trafficking earn high profits but are illegal. Do not engage I such businesses; you will end up loosing in the long run.
Capital to be invested is another factor. Do you have enough resources for the business? An opportunity may have very good prospects but require money that you do not have.
