There's no other building support system except money. You need savings intended for a sudden change of business momentum. Another support system is your property in case worst comes to worst you can loan your property in case no savings made.

You're right, my dearest friend. Above all, I think that every person who wants to build his own business must also be well informed of the costs and risks he might encounter.

That is the best support you can give to someone close to you to get informed about the possible risks. That's one way to show concern especially to the new investors. Money is always the answer to support one's investment.

I completely agree, money is an important factor for any business, as it provides stability and safety in times of unexpected changes. Also, having other assets and investments, such as property, can also serve as an additional support system and provide a backup plan in case financial resources are depleted.

That is right, other things can't support us like our family or friends who are also struggling. The best is to save and have the savings serve as a future support system.

Savings does serve as a future support system. By having a solid savings plan in place, businesses can be better prepared to face the challenges of an ever-changing market and economic landscape.

No savings, no support system to rely on in case worst comes to worst in business. Little savings can become big once continuously do it according to plan. It must be given special attention.

Adequate savings can act as a cushion during periods of economic instability, unforeseen expenses, or market fluctuations. Businesses with sufficient savings are more likely to weather these storms and emerge stronger in the long run.

As, long as there is saving, there is stability of feelings. no one feels insecure because there is money kept in the right place and when the time comes to build a business, it is not impossible.

True, this year I am planning on making a lot of restructuring for my business, last year there was very little planing for most of the things I did, I believe this year will be different.

That is a very good decision to make your dream business happen this year. Do it because if you don't, you will lose interest and the possibility to postpone it in the next years.

That sounds like a great goal. Planning and restructuring can really help improve a business. I wish you all the best in your restructuring efforts and hope you see positive results for your business this year.
