If I started in adult today knowing what I knew in 1977 I would been gone in less than 6 months.

Think of opening a business the same way a bank manager would or venture capitalist, when you ask them for money.

What's your idea, market, business plan, competition, location, experience, existing finance, projections, requirements and what's the odds on success. Then you might not need to ask the question that should never need asking.

You should know the answer if you're going to do it.

Is now a good time to start a business in Adult?

A lot of established players are failing. Why do you think a newbie will succeed where they fail. And what will you bring to the table that's so great no one else has thought of it already?
