Chow says, “In order to open a more traditional brick-and-mortar kind of business, you likely need to take out a lease on some retail space, invest in a POS system, buy your store fixtures, hire some staff, load up on inventory, and otherwise absorb a wealth of operating expenses. By contrast, running an online business can be a lot leaner and a lot let expensive to get started.

Depending on what you want to do, your initial investment might be little more than some Internet access, web hosting and a domain name. Given this, it’s also understandable that you don’t need to have the most powerful computer in the world. Would it be possible, then, to get rid of your computer altogether and get everything done on an iPad (or similar tablet) instead? It’d be easy to travel with and it could be a lot more convenient, but what would you need to get started?“.
