Starting a business allows entrepreneurs to be their own boss, pursue financial success through wealth creation, and gain job security since large companies are eliminating more jobs than creating. Entrepreneurs should select a business idea centered around something they love and are good at doing that also satisfies a need in the marketplace. A business plan is required, and financing options include credit cards, loans from family/friends, bank loans, venture capitalists, or angel investors. Governments support new businesses through business incubators, enterprise zones, and supportive legislation.
