How much money do you need to start a photography business?

A ThoughtHow much demand is there for rented cameras? It is possible to buy a fair range of cameras at affordable prices (for example on ebay). This, together with cheaper new (and existing) cameras, should cater for most amateur demand.

I'd expect people who need cameras for their profession to buy their own as part of their capital expenditure.

I recall the days when television sets were expensive and many households rented a TV - but those days didn't last that long.

In other Words, I'd suggest that you research demand very thoroughly first. Of course, you may already have done so.

AnswerFirst, look if you got competitors ? Chances of success if yes, 30% no 70% then consider whether your country or city has good distribution infrastructure. Yes add 15% no minus 15% to your current score. Finally, do you have the capital of about US $300K. If yes add another 15%. Now see if you got the prerequisite 60% before you can start considering, otherwise it's better to consider other alternatives.
