Ans: You will have to register a new entity, because startup has a "start date" clause and 35 year old business may not be registered as a startup. Please consult a CA/ Consultant who can help you register in startup India.

I want to open a restaurant but I don't have any capital and I'm from a lower middle class family so I can neither leave the job at once to follow my dreams nor I have any financial support from other sources. I've done my MBA and Business Analytics and working in a Hospitality Industry since last 12 years. How can I start up with my own restaurant?

Ans: Can start your business in partnership with someone. In which case you can provide the expertise and the other person can run the business. But it should not be against the policies of the company you are working in. Also partner should be reliable. I had a relative who started a restaurant in a similar way where they kept it open in late evenings after his work hours.

Hi I am 42 and I want to startup a business in food industry perticularly in Juice sector. Kindly advice how can I start and what are the prospects for this industry ?

Ans: I would request you to do a lot of research first, both secondary first, and primary. That will help you understand which specific niche you might want to target. There are several aspects to consider here. I am operating on the assumption that you already have relevant experience, expertise and contacts in this industry. Food processing is still nascent in India and studies suggest that it is likely to grow.
