Topic: What is your opinion on starting a business at the last quarter of the year? (2) - page 4. (Read 748 times)

I think it all depends on the type of business, if it is something related to sales of goods that are good for gifts, it can be a good idea, because this is the best period of the year for this, at the end of the year people start buying gifts for their loved ones and friends, so everything can work out well. But the following months can be more difficult, so it is worth evaluating not only the coming months, but also the future, so that in the following months the profit received is not spent on expenses, without significant profit.

Someone can start a business at anytime and wait for the appropriate season when it'll be in demand. Meaning that you can start most businesses at anytime, so far you have the capital and knowledge of the business. But I can agree that there are some businesses that moves more during the last quarter of the year. You can start them perhaps to cash in on the season and exit when the first quarter starts. If it's your normal business, then you can stock more during this fourth quarter. Example of these businesses are Christmas decorations, fashion that includes clothes, shoes and jewelries, gift items. These are some of the items that I feel will sale very fast in the fourth quarter seasons.

Starting up a business in the last quarter of the year is also a nice idea. All I need to look out for is what really sold a lot doing the last quarter. Seasonal business. At a Christmas season, I can start up with sales of food items or Christmas celebration attire. This will sell so well doing this time.

The other thing is to imagine starting a pumpkin business or a nice Halloween costume at the beginning of the Halloween season (smile) in a good location. Guys, the sales will be a merit. 

Do your market analysis and start something that will boom as fast as possible. 

One should first have to know that there are different kinds of businesses of which some are seasonal while others aren't. We are entering the yuletide season and unless the kind of business you intend to start at this quarter is designed for the season, there won't be much profit to collect.
Infact, any business being started at this time isn't expected to take in much profit, but that shouldn't deter you from starting anyways because innovation and improvising on the methods you adopt to operate your business may offer you much more insight as to how you can properly arrange you self to make profit.

I don't think there's a difference between starting a business in Q1,Q2,Q3,or Q4, this also depends on the business you want to create.

Let's say you want to sell wool scarf, selling in Q4 is the best time because it's winter, people will buy your product to make their body warm.

I'd say better to take a look with the economy of people around you, many people said the economy isn't as great as before because now some people fall into gambling addiction and gambling in shitcoins, which make people have less money to buy something.

Starting a business is the next big step, and if you want to hold onto it because of the spending that may come due to the holiday season, then I would call it financially irresponsible. Just look from a different perspective if it is festive season then people will be spending more money so it could be the perfect time to start a business which is like a headstart if the business is related to consumer products. Only things is you need perfect plan and adequate capital to have the stocks that people will be looking to spend their money.

It's actually the festive period and a lot of persons at this time are working harder to have something during the celebrations. One can still do something nice that would be productive but it would be something that people would really be in need of during the period. The beginning of every year is always tough. Especially January to be precise and most times its best to gather enough now and wait for it. What I've seen most investors do is that they make plan for that one month like keeping some !money down. So yes it's a good idea to start something now..

I don't operate a business based on time and seasons because opportunities can come at any time of the year. The belief that one needs to be more cautious towards the end of the year looks like a myth to me. I am open to taking risks or being cautious at any time of the year.    

For me, I don't gather money to spend on pleasures because I don't have such extra funds. The reason why people see January as tough is that they spend more than they can afford during the festivities in December. January is not tough for me because I don't waste money on Christmas celebrations, so there is always enough to use in January.          

It will depend mainly on the type of business. Investing in clothing, Christmas items and farm animals will be a good one in my country in the fourth quarter.  

Depending on where you are using it and if it is a business like the title you load then you need to see what kind of business can provide less risky profits.

First identify what kind of business you want to develop because sometimes not all types of businesses can grow in any quarter and I rarely see people talking about quarters when they want to grow a business, because all you need to do is see whether the business opportunity is needed or not in that environment.
Strangely enough before starting they are already making plans for celebrations and that is not the type of successful businessman in my opinion because businessmen do not see celebrations first but develop so that the business grows.

Business is different from your personal life or expenses, so it should be treated differently. That’s the principle I learned when studying for my finance course. As a businessman, you can start anytime you see an opportunity. Now, regarding starting a business in the last quarter of the year, here are some positive and negative aspects based on the situation in our country.

Positive: During the holiday season, people love to spend, which means your business could see a boost in profitability.
Negative: On the flip side, you’ll have to pay for the business permit for the entire year, even if you can only benefit from it for one quarter.

But if can weight that you'll gain more benefits over the expenses (permits), then you should start your business.

I think people spend more money at the last quarter of the year, personally I think anytime is a good time to start business, what matter is testing whether the product we offered has a place in the market and there's no better time than the last quarter of the year where everyone just trying to buy something and spend their hard earned money for their loved ones, if i were a businessman I wouldn't continue the business if I can't make a good sales at the month of december frankly .

so really I think taking financial risk around this time is actually pretty okay.
I just think that these idea of starting business around certain specific quarter is just a superstitious thing.

Indeed, In the last quarter I see that starting a business is a possible step in case if the strategy is rather developed and experience in managing business and its promotion is acquired. There are plenty of opportunities which can be actively used at the end of the year, because there are different momentum, including holidays, end of the year sale promotions and other shifts in behavior among consumers. These opportunities, if well exploited open avenues for new business to gain attention faster in order to introduce a product or a service to the market. There is nothing wrong with looking at the end of the year as a trial, to see what is effective before moving on to the next quarter with more certainty.

It is for this reason that the success of a business probably more than anything else relies on the proper our interaction and manipulation or management of various factors that surround the business entrepreneur and execution creativity not the time when it begins. Taking into account the condition in the market and the fast response to the consumer needs we still have rather great opportunity to succeed even if the business started at the end of the year. Long term sustainability is achievable in this business, if only adequate attention can continually be accorded to it as well as the provision of quality products backed by pro-active promotion strategies. Starting in the last quarter, is very challenging and has the potential to become a good strategy if we are focused and willing to exploit the chances available.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong in starting a business in even the last quarter of the year. A business can get success even if it's the last quarter of the year, and similarly a business can be failed if it's started in first quarter of the year. It depends on the person who starts the business, if he/she is good at doing that business and its marketing then surely he/she will earn profits from it even if it's started in last quarter of the year.

Like I mean if you’re sure the business will yield profit there’s no better time starting a business, both first and last quarter can be considered. For example just as mentioned by the op festive season requires a lot for those who care but saving for something important is good. Sincerely speaking if anyone should start their business during the last quarter of the year knowing it’s the time price of every goods increase higher compared to other season profit is guarantee but still depend on the starting amount.

I don't think it does matter a lot. What's more important is what kind of business to build and the perfect location for it, and of course having a quality product and a competitive price will attract more customers to enter in your store and bite your offer.

However, if your business is all about decors and everything that beautify the house, or sumptuous foods that will be serve perfectly during holidays, I guess you will make an edge over other businesses.

I see the last quarter of the year as one of the times to start up a business and you'll be successful but it depends on the businesses that you're involving in.

The last quarter of the year comes with festivals, parties and travels, therefore starting a business that focuses on this areas can make you money. You can also go into hospitality business as people tend to travel more during the last quarter of the year.

You can start fashion business to sell cloths and other accessories that people love to wear during this period and you'll make money. Every quarter has a business that suit that time of the year, all that's required of you before starting a business is to do some research and make sure you aren't just throwing money away.

Depends on the business that you're about to run. With the upcoming festivities and holidays coming up in the last quarter of the year, there are certain nature of businesses that boom that people take advantage to. If you're business if within and are in season, I suggest that you go for it making sure that you'll be able to keep it since next following could be the busiest part of the year.

On most cases, it doesn't really matter when you start your venture on business as long as you're capable to run it knowing full well of the risk and there are seasons where your services or products may not perform well.

This depends on individuals and your level of preparation, because as far as I know the time of the year doesn't contribute in any ways to either the success or failure of a business and all that is needed to start a business is your preparation, so for that you are free to start up you business or investment anytime you feel you already have the ability to contain such risk and being able to handle it until you become successful, because there is no business with it own Unique struggle and hustle and for that we need to get all the preparation in place before venturing into that said business, and unlike cryptocurrency which can be invested in by a newbies and still be able to manage to accumulate a profits on the long run, business on the other hand doesn't work that way, in business you have to make all necessary contributions and physical commitment to see the business succeed, so before you talk about the timing of the year be it last quarter or first quarter, first of all take the time to build the blueprint of the business because that is the only tool that aid your success in that business on the long run.

It's a good season to start a business. If you are into a seasonal business then last quarter is actually a good time to do something that you think will have good results. So, you have to choose what type of business you're going to do.

The choice is obvious and you have to consider whether it's a good one during this quarter because you know bonuses are everywhere, holiday season.

That's when companies are giving more incentives to everyone so, the choice is yours. All you need to do is to start and don't delay it.

The answer from every individual regarding this query would be different based on their geographical and cultural differences. People from one region might have festivals in the last quarter of the year whereas people from other areas might not have the same situations. So if I tell you that there is nothing wrong with starting a business in the last quarter of the year, it might not suite your conditions and situation because you might have more festivals which would require you to have more expenses, hence more savings needed.

So the right thing to do would be to either mention your region or ask people around where you live if it is a good idea to start a business in the last quarter or not. Other than that, one should also check their financial capabilities before making a decision. Since you asked about an average income earner, it usually becomes difficult for a person with an average income to both save and start a business. So if you go for savings, you won't be able to do the other, vice versa.
