which is harder for a business.

[Rruchi man]

I was wondering, which side of a business do you consider the hardest—the start-up or keeping the business going?

In start-ups, you have no customers, and your first task is trying to win customers for your business. To keep the business going, you have to keep the customers you have. Which is more difficult?

[bitterguy28]

Both have their own difficulties mate because like me that have had a business once  i happen to experience them both .


Start up -  the main problem in this part is how to lure costumers that i believe advertising is needed and of course the product you are selling needs to be authentic and legit
to make your costumers coming back and making them regular in your business.


Keep the business Going -  in this part you should maintain what is the quality over quantity , this will assure your costumer to continue ordering because same product from the beginning .

Start up should be the most difficult because to get the customers is the first thing and you need to make your price look attractive. Also the area where the business is located matters alot too, because if it  is in a busy environment, definitely you will get the customers. Keeping them is easy to me, because you need to have a good customer relationship with them so that they will be the one to tell you where you are lacking behind for you to improve.

You are completely right, that is where majority of entrepreneurs are lacking, they think once they have the money to start up a business, they will start having customers and making sales, forgetting Rome wasn't built in a day, it takes time before they can actualizing their dreams on how the business will be, so just as you said, they will have to make things easier and affordable for people and to also attract more customers by not selling their goods costly and also location really matters in a business, it determines on how the business will turn out to be,. So choosing a right location for a particular business is also good but most people don't know that and some people find it hard to locate a good place suitable for a business to hold.

Don't you think getting customers for some entrepreneurs who are really starting up with some good amount of money and popularity may not be a problem because if they invest heavily in marketing they would have the proper customers that they want?

they will have to make things easier and affordable for people and to also attract more customers by not selling their goods costly

The target for some entrepreneurs are not people who are low income earners, so some entrepreneurs do not actually have to make things affordable for everyone because they have a specific income group that they focusing on. Some individuals will only buy expensive products and patronize expensive service because they consider it luxury.

I think both are part of the same whole, the business must always run as if it were just starting out. Failure is more often due to slowly bad internal management while your business starts to grow. It can be from the company's finances (for example reducing the allocation of capital for personal finances), structural (trusted people who betray), product or service quality (reducing quality because of maintaining prices, competition), etc.

[bisdak40]

I think it depends on the business and its situation. Starting a business can be difficult at first because you need the capital to start the business, and conduct a business plan to ensure the business is marketable. The marketing but for me the hardest part is keeping the business going because of the completion where others offer cheap and better products or services than you then you will lose your customers it is hard to maintain the customers if there are many competitors. You don't have an edge on your products or services to stand out.

This is the problem about other Business owners that they become confident when their business grows high ,
sometimes not even paying attention to upgrading and updating that causes the business eventually fall and ending to be closure , there are so many like this in my location that i observed suffers the same thing.
always provide new things and offers to your costumers to continue growing business.

Start up always the hard thing but also maintaining is same as hard of haw started.

costumers always looking for new , not unless this is about food business that costumers will love you for what you are providing like what it is started.

Keeping the business going should be the easiest because you don't need much to sacrifice and I don't see competition as a problem because you are in the market where competition is important for the improvement of your products or business. This is why you will come up with your own strategy that will keep you in the market and you should be flexible to tweak to whatever changes the business needs for a better customer service. Having good relationship with your customers will also determine how successful you will be. A lot of people have business ideas in them or will I say the skill of running a running business but they lack finance to start the business. Starting up a business is the hardest.

I think, if you have a good product to sell and it’s worth people buying, It’s not going to be a problem to keep those customers. It’s harder to find new customers if that’s the case.

If you have a bad product it would be easier To find customers, but probably hard to retain one because of the poor product.

 It all depends in my opinion And it will be different for different industries, but as long as you put in the hard work, I think you could make it.

I believe starting up is more difficult. One of the challenges in business is gaining the trust of customers. Remember that prior to the establishment of your business, these individuals were patronizing other business owners in the same line of business as you, so diverting them to your business will require a significant amount of effort.

It depends on what business you will start because some businesses may need a larger initial outlay of funds or resources. At the same time, others can be managed with limited funds. The key is to adjust your plan according to the business and be prepared for the particular difficulties that that business faces.

I was wondering, which side of a business do you consider the hardest—the start-up or keeping the business going?

The hardest to achieve is in maintain the running of a business, many will be eager and desperate to start a business but then they are not having the idea of how to effectively manage the business in other to keep it running, that is why today we discover that in the society, there are lots of failed attempts on business establishments because it is very easy to start doing something but to maintain it existence is the difficult task to do.

In start-ups, you have no customers, and your first task is trying to win customers for your business. To keep the business going, you have to keep the customers you have. Which is more difficult?

It depends on the entrepreneur’s strengths and the specific industry. For some, starting the business is harder due to the many unknowns and the difficulty of building from scratch. For others, scaling and managing growth post-startup is more challenging due to complexities in managing finances, operations, and human resources at a larger scale. But for me,starting a business is not really difficult,anyone can start up a business, but the difficult part of a business is after startup, is keeping the business to run at least for one or two years after starting the business.

   conjunction to all the above. I think starting up a business in the first place is harder, in as much as both start-up and up keep is hard.
The stress behind starting up a business starts even before starting the business. Except proper planning is not done where a business is lunched anywhere. Doing all the possible business analysis, starting and then trying to get customers are all around startup which appears hardest than keeping the customers you have already.

Where keeping customers are usually a serious problem is in boom babies that started and business begin to flourish. By such,
Most business owners finally forget the importance of customers out of pride and arrogance. At times like this, some customers will only patronize based on monopoly.
