I'm thinking of starting a clothing business and an existing one by a friend is in the offing to be sold,don't know if I should buy that or start mine afresh. What do you think will be the best?

Buy the existing one you will inherit previous customers and it will be easier to gather customers

I prefer to start my own business. As long as it is feasible.

@augusta123 As long as the businessman knows what he is doing.

It depends. If you think people will keep on patronizing the products, then it's okay to go for it.

Whether existing or new, no business is ever easy to run, and one or the other is never easier to run. If you don't have the business expertise, even a successful existing business will not be successful. Certainly though, an existing business will already have a reputation, and a predetermined clientele. But if you can't follow the success of the business under its old leadership, the business will not survive new leadership.

Well , i will say , if you have the capacity to start your own afresh , it would hahe been the best , but if you know that the capital is not there for you, go for her own firstly, so that you can at least gather up money and later you stand on your own .
