Why do people take the risk of starting their own business instead of enjoying the benefits of a "normal" job ideally with an unlimited contract/in a permanent position. You receive a monthly salary and just get the job done, if there no work - you just read the papers. Starting your own business means carrying a lot more weight on your shoulders and surely there will be more than one all-nighter ahead. Being self-employed means you're both the employer and the employee, responsible for finding work and completing it. The list of things you have to have in mind to establish your own business seems to be endless. First and foremost you need a good idea about what you want to do, you must register your business. Maybe you will need an office or a store and physical assets depending on your business. You need to understand how you have to do your taxes. Is there a need for suppliers and materials? You have to consider aspects like naming, logo creation, and slogans. Why do people take the risk of loosing everything due to an investment by establishing their own business? Self-realization may a possible answer. The dream of doing what one wants and earning (more) money in one go. A break away from the boss - employee relationship, tired of being told what one has to do - especially if you know a better way to achieve the task, but you have no scope for decision-making or nobody is listening to you. Maybe you have a new idea or you invented something new and don´t want someone else to take the credit; or you simply have no choice because you live in a country where nobody offers you a job that provides a living wage .
