which is harder for a business.

I will say that starting a business feels more harder than the person who has an existing running business.

Someone who is starting a business will face with the challenge of securing funds for the business, how to get customer base that will patronize the business, the location suited for the business and the market uncertainty(the demands of the customers can depreciate)

Indeed, Starting up a business is really harder than growing up a business and the challenges you've mentioned are the  key factors that contribute to the hardness of launching a business. If a business is being established, the growth and development of the business will not be a problem, you just have to abide by the rules and regulations that governed the business and foster innovative and manner of approaching the customers.

If you tend to have workers around you who are hell bent on restricting your progress it will be very difficult to grow  and maintain that business. Imagine your workers who after every sales tends to pocket some amount of money for themselves to share afterwards. With this the business can never move forward, another is when there is a lot of debt been owed to the businessman.
With this said I would simply conclude by stating that it is more easier to start a business than to maintain it, personally I know of a lot of my friends who after starting up numerous business ended up closing it down because they later on lacked the finances to continue with the business because of the kind of employees they had

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?

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 correct, running a business is really difficult in respective of maintaining good reputation, keeping your customers in check, create a good communication with your customers, also get a good site where you can start up your business just as you said, also know the kind of products people who live around there wants, because if you get what people want in their everyday lives can also makes you make a good sales but all the same doing all this things is not really easy but it’s worth it as far as money is coming out from it.
