Availability of funding: finding the appropriate source of finance is essential.
Government legislation: for example, a business may have to install anti-pollution equipment to bring down its emission levels, to conform to government laws.
Business confidence: entrepreneurs, managers and businesses tend to have different attitudes and cultures from each other. For example, cautious, non-confident entrepreneur may delay or abandon possible investment projects.
