In business there will be opportunities that will be presented to you, either directly or by chance, and it is up to you to grab them as you see fit. Like if you have an existing company and you are holding operations in a building that you own, it is often natural for you to try to find ways to make your resources more profitable.
In such cases, some people will think about leasing spaces to other companies and this helps with expenses. Some will think of building another company under the existing, to offer services and product related or unrelated to the principal. Some will also consider building a business, such as a café or restaurant within the building, to benefit the company, its workers and the visitors. It is a great asset to have and it is fairly useful, but if no one has the experience to run such a business, this altogether becomes an issue.
How do you go about something like this?
Of course you can think about being bold and doing things on your own, but it may not be as easy. You may end up hitting the wall if you are not careful, so it is often best to work with someone who can show you the ropes.
