Depends on what your business is. If you are starting an online store with dropshipping modality, you might have to spend at least $500 (shopify platform). However, for the same dropshipping business if you use wordpress and woocommerce, all you have to spend is register a domain and buy hosting. In case you want to sell via ebay, etsy etc., all you have to spend on is product development, which can be less than $300.
 
Yes depending on your site and the kind of your business sometimes business need start with small to see how it goes before making a bigger one
 
Starting a small scale business depends on the nature of the business and where your location is. If you live in an area where land is at your fingertips, you can invest with less than $500 with small and medium scale businesses. There are series of small scale businesses that can work for better businesses in future.
 
Starting a small business requires at least 500$ in savings. If you save 500$ you can easily afford the expenses at home and there will be no problem. Because today is the time of inflation, so the Budget should be 500$ from small business.
 
When the lockdown was declared here some neighbors started selling food items - cooked food for meals, cooked food for snacks, eggs, milk, sugar, bread, rice, etc. The capital is small but the profit is pretty good. One seller of snack food said that her profit takes care of their meals, she has 2 kids and a husband who lost his job in the lockdown. Until now some of them are still selling even if their husbands are back to their jobs. I guess selling is the easiest business and with a small capital as well.
 
I will say the minimum budget to start a home business depends on your country of residence.

Take my country for instance, there are wide range of small scale businesses you can start with $100. This is amount is not enough for getting necessary licence at top tier countries like US not to take other viral tools.

I think $2,000 should be enough to start a home based based business in second tier and third time countries while $10,000 should be okay for first tier countries.
 
There are several factors to consider when starting a business even if it's a small scale business..one takes a look at the market ,the environment and so on..those are the criteria that will determine how much budget will be prepared
 
Starting a small business doesn’t require much capital to start up. With as low as $1000, you can start different businesses on a small scale. Though you can start with lower amonunt but the capital determines the profit.
When you invest a big amount of money in a business you’ll definately be expecting a good return on investments.
 
It depends on the type of business you are planning to go into, you must understand the cost of running , although the more the capital the more the profit and return you get from the business
 
Think about the costs of running your business
Even as a home office, you will have to worry about things like office supplies and the cost of your utility bill. You see, once you start running an actual office within your home, your electricity bill will skyrocket, due to the fact that you will have a plethora of new appliances installed. Therefore, you might want to start paying closer attention to the offers compiled by your energy provider. In fact, some platforms allow you to compare energy providers effortlessly and with greater efficiency. It might also be the right time to rethink your broadband plan.
 
The best budget is one that can afford you to start up. None of the choices in your poll would really get you anywhere. To start a business would likely cost much more. Unless you're doing something where the work is mostly done online, and you don't need a place of business, then you could start something for that amount, but it wouldn't cover a whole lot.
 
Since is actually for a small home based business, $300 will be enough to start a new business either online or offline. But if the person wants to combine the business both online and offline then a startup capital of about $500 will make more sense.
 
Most people would love starting a small scale business base on the reduced amount of their capital. One can invest on a small scale business an work his or her out to expand it higher in the near future, when enough income have been made.
 
i have seen people starting their businesses for only 50$, i personally know people that started dropshipping with a budget of 50$ and they are making lot of profit daily now, it's possible to start businesses on a budget, you just have to be smart enough to improve your budget over time
 
To start a business, you can do it with a small sum. The important thing is the idea you have, the motivation and a good administration, in my country I have seen people with small sales of food products, of 4 or 5 varieties, and with an efficient administration in a short time they manage to increase sales and you see the winery growth.
 
Situable Budget on small scale business is very important because every business can not thrive well without situable Budgeting.
It is very important to know so much that can be use to start a business because when you fail to plan financially business hardly can float well. Situation budget and limited amount is necessary so as to set up a functional business.
 
The type of a business determines its capital. The only factor that can still determine the factors are availability of resources and nearness to market. So the very first thing to do when starting a business is to plan whether big or small business.
 
Looking at small scale business offline, the best is foodstuff and provision.peopleca not do without food,so in any situation there would be sales and you will be able to make your money.Another advantage is that it doesn't tie down the capital invested.
 
I think $1000 can start a good small scale business .But the size of capital for starting a business depends mainly on the kind of business and other factors like environment, economic condition and the entrepreneur himself.
