The bottom line, the very bottom.......is that you can't. But you can increase the odds by researching the stability of other such businesses, the trends in that business, mind the cost/benefit analysis, determine your market and zero in on their needs and desires, seek mentoring and have a very, very sound plan. How long can you stay afloat, financially, if things are slow for the first six months? And if the initial concepts aren't working, how motivated and capable are you of adapting to a different concept?

Once you get beyond the break even point. For most businesses that is about the 6 months point. A lot depends on how canny and conservative the management is.
If you know what you are doing and do a better job than the competition, you can succeed even if others next door are going belly up.

There is no way to know...success depends on many factors. Most new startups don't see profits for 2-3 years.

If it's a restaurant, it has a very low probability of success. For any other type of business, consult a crystal ball. Sheesh!!!
