If you have enough money and other resources you can start business but if you need money so you should arrange all money to start new business, thanks

I would have to suggest the bakery. I don't know about the area that you live in, but where I live, there is not one bakery around. There are tons of restaurants. With a restaurant, you would need to provide seating, dishes, a bunch of menus, additional staff, and the list goes on. With a bakery, customers would come in and buy, then go home to eat. Once business builds and your customer base gets larger, you could open up a lunch counter/coffee shop. So, are you going to come to my county? I would be one of your first customers. I think it is great that you have such a wonderful goal. I wish the best of luck to you.

Thank you for your sweet responce. You are right about the extra expence involved in the resturent business. And you have given me a good idea to expand business later. Thank you so much. If i open up my own business i wont charge anything from you... hehe

Thank you for you response. You are right that it depends on funds, lets see after five years how much i can invest and get a loan or may be find partners to invest.

I would go for the bakery, they are more fun to work in than a restuarant. There is also less competition in a bakery than a restuarant. I have worked in both and the work to me was easier and more interesting than working in any restuarant.

You have given very limited choices.Restaurant or bakery...There are many other ways where you earn with out much investment.I am suggesting you lower or nil investment options because I think you don't have much to invest and taking a loan is a risky game. You can think about selling on ebay or work from home sites. check http://workingfree.blogspot.com/ You can also buy from countries like India/china where you can buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices.

It really depends on your market - what they want; your interest, and the availability of people who can work for you, which means what skills they have.
