At what age did you start your first business? What kind of business it was? How did you build business funds? Did you make money? I was 20 years old when I started my first business. It was a publishing house. Out motive was to publish books and magazines. I built investment funds by collecting money from friends. Sadly, the business failed.

I was in the early twenties when I started my first business and it was very successful because I make decent amount of money from it before I stopped the business due to some unforeseen occurrences.

I was 21 when I started a snail farm that ultimately failed. I moved from there to establish a plantain plantation. It did well but needed scaling up to be more profitable. The first business that absolutely worked for me was poultry busines.

I was about 17 years when I did my first transactional job. I had been learning music production for a long time and then came this guy that believed in me enough to pay me to produce his song. And that is hiw my recording company started.

I started pretty late though. I am currently on my first business and it has not really been up to two years since i started it. I have had my ups and downs though but am getting a hang of it.

I was 21 when I started my game shop which happens to be the first business I have ever started. It seemed I was a bit too old and late to start at that age. I wish I started earlier.

I was already an adult when I started my own business because I was in the university when I was able to save some money and started my perfume business.

I started my first business of selling scratch cards at the age of 19. My source of income was my parents and I did the business successful until when I stopped to join campus.

This question has actually brought back old memories, I could remember when I was around 8 years or so, I did my very first business, and it was indeed a very great feeling, I made massive profits from it, but it was a one time business, I only did it once and never thought of it again.

I started my first business at the age of sixteen and it was a jewelry business before I moved to selling clothes but I made more profit from the jewelry than the clothes

I was actually 20 when I started my first buy and sell business. It was a challenging but rewarding journey that taught me so much about business and myself.

I have never ran a business in the real sense of establishing a business of my own. But I was 11 when I started to help mom manage her shop.
