As much as you can manage, and most likely enough to get you by for at least 6 to 9 months of joblessness. You'll learn that generating income always takes longer, and you'll undoubtedly spend more money than you had anticipated.

It all depends on the financial availability and affordability of the business man. One can't start big if capital is not enough unless just a small store.

Sure I learned this a long time ago. it isn't easy at all to make money . it does take a longer time to achieve it too.

It surely is dependent upon the business we are planning to start like for a store selling grocery you can start with a lesser investment too

The amount of capital needed by each business will certainly be different. Of course, before you start running your business, you have made a plan and budget. so you can find out the minimum amount of capital needed including operational costs for the next few months.

It simply depends on the type of business and how much you can invest. Some business need huge capital to start like oil business, you need millions of dollars to start while some need thousands to start. It will be irrational to start livestock business with millions of dollars.

It depends upon the type of business lets suppose you are going to open a medical store then you need at least 1000$ in my city on the other hand if you prepared your mind to open a general store then in some cases only 500$ will be enough.

Please, start a business at the most basic level and that won't require you to spend much. Learn the curve first before you spend big.

It is better to invest with an amount that you can afford to lose into a business that you just wanted to start because you don't really know if it will be profitable or not.

A new investment needs a lot of thorough research and analysis and if you are convinced enough that the business is profitable, or then you can invest a reasonable amount of money.

There should be no fixed amount of capital a business man should invest in the business and it also depends on the kind of business the person wants to engage in

I think the right question should be how much capital can you comfortably invest into the business for the first time. There is no rule as to how much you should invest, rather simply invest what you are comfortable with.

This will depends on the type of business and the financial availability. You can invest big or small according to how uoh can afford for the business man. So just do you.

You need to apply estimation of the possible amount you need to capitalize your business. Check your business tolerance and possible risks of the amount that is not substantial to begin the journey of money making.
Post automatically merged:

There is no limit of capital as long as you're rich. You can't start ASAP a business you like and have a passion about if not never do if capital is insufficient. You will suffer mental and emotional stresses calculating the possible costs and labor.

If you plan to operate a busiess, capital is not the one to think about. You need, to plan, make a feasibility study of your location and target market, your suppliers and your manpower.
