Why do some people think that if you have a business you also have a lot of money?

Probably because most people who have businesses are very money savvy and typically have a lot of money and very nice care - at least if they have been in business for a few years.

Maybe those people who think like that never have their own business yet. i have been doing several small business but so far I did not get big money yet. :) That's why I am still writing post in mylot.. haha :)

cause actually to have a business you must have a capital to begin and to have a capital means a lot of money, and since then people think like that

hi millardos, you are right, to have a business you must have a capital, to have a capital you have to have a lot of money, but there are so many ways to get a capital if you are really interested in having a business, even just small one.

Good morning, dear rosema. This is a very good question. I think the reason why some people think so could be like this: since you are doing business, it shows that you have enough money for it, otherwise how come you do business? Another reason could be: they have no idea how much you need to spend or invest on the business when they only see you gain some profit. But in fact, it is hard to say how much you could earn from doing business unless it is a very good one...

Hi my friend, thanks for appreciating my discussion. i agree with you, maybe thats the reason why they think like that. That you cannot open a business if you dont have money, but why they dont think that if you really want or interested to open a business that there are a lots of way to get capital. and in addition not all business is successful. ^_^

It's because one cannot have a business without a business capital for you to open a business. So I think it's already part of human beings to think that if a person has a business, we can assume that he or she has a lot of money. :-)

HI braveheart, yes maybe thats the reason why they think like that, that if you have no money you cannot afford to have a business. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

the hope to be prosperous does think that thew business will succeed. But is is easy to think that having a lot money can be disastrous. Trade is not so easy. It is as a ladder.. one step at a time.

Because they see you as being worth what the company is worth not the money it brings in nor at what you have to pay out. Most business do not reach a profit point for at least 1 to 3 years. Most people do not see it that way.

Hi KOwgirl, you are right sometimes for 3 years before you can say that you are gaining profit. or sometimes you are lossing it. but they dont see that, all they can see is that you have a business. thanks for passing by. ^_^

I think people believe that having your own business asure you a big income. Simply your the boss, you have people working under you, and you own the company. Not like the people you are referring to, they have to follow orders. Just be proud your a businessmen like me lol.

this is very true. well, my guess is that people think that having a business requires seed capital. one can't have business without capital. people often forget that at times, seed capital is loaned from a bank or someone. but people can determine whether one's business is doing well or not. if they see that one's business is doing well, then one is a traget of kidnapping for it is perceived that the person has a lot of money.

Hi mensab, yes maybe because we afford to open a business that's why they think like that. but we can open a business by just borrowing money and not our own money. and not all business is successful and earning. thanks for the response

simply because it is true. You can't own a business unless you have the right capital and resources. And of course when your business booms, people will notice even the things you do and buy like going out of the country and buying a car lol... You are rich baby... and a lot will really notice it... let's just hope you won't get abused. Good luck girl!!!
