As I mentioned, you need to determine how much you need to start your business. Your start-up costs can be reasonably low, from $500 to $1000, if you already have everything you need to get started. But, you may need much more, up to $20,000, if you want to enter the market at full speed. Remember that a much larger capital investment will get the ball rolling but will not guarantee your success. It is why it is crucial to establish your business first. Go back to your short- and long-term goals, and decide how much you want to invest in your business.
