I am thinking over it from short period of time and Here are the 10 questions that I have researched to make sure we are thinking about the right key business decisions: These are the ones:
Why am I starting a business?
What kind of business do I want?
Who is my ideal customer?
What products or services will my business provide?
Will I need to get a loan?
How soon will it take before my products or services are available?
How long do I have until I start making a profit?
Who is my competition?
What other important points(other then mentioned above) have to think about before starting any business ? Please share your thoughts here.
Cynthia.

I didn't edit out your link. Another mod did that.
There's so much plagiarism out there today and folk seem OK with it until they feel ripped off on their own ideas.

Think about the location of your business. Location has a big role, it seems you have to consider the customer needs in a place. Also checking your competitor will give you an idea if you are going to stick on the product or create a new one.
If your business requires an employees, you should have to find an active, creative and loyal attitudes. They are the one who will help you to grow your business.

I think you almost covered all except for the part where you didn't ask the question regarding human resources. Work force is a one of the very important element of a business since they are the ones who deliver or perform and building a relationship with the customers. This is also important because placing the right people equipped with skills and capabilities should be able put in a job that is suited with what they can do.
