Starting a business from scratch or running an existing business, which is easier?

It's one thing to start a business from scratch, and it is another to buy an existing and run it. Which do you think would be easier, starting your own business and growing it or buying an already existing business and rebranding. Personally I think both have their advantages and as well as their disadvantages.

For me l am interested in operation of the existing businesses. This is because l find it easier to run the business with the already customers on the business database than starting one from scratch.

Starting business from scratch is easier for me because if continued business, start producing losses then it becomes much more difficult to control it. While when we start business we put our concentration in all aspects and better start it.

Starting a business from the scratch is somehow challenging because you will have a lot to focus on then firstly focus on how to make people know the business and how to maintain it

I believe that it is more manageable to take over an established business since everything is already set up for you. Starting from zero will be quite challenging, especially if you are new to this.

It is good if it is existing one. You can just pay the franchise and then, you can have the business.
