Depends type of business. I own a real estate rental company, and made profits the first month. I am currently starting a brokerage business which I expect to make profits in 4 months. Some busines take 8-12 months others take 2 years. All depends on business, and owners marketing skills. Best of luck!

With my eBay business, it took 3 days to make profit. Many business owners will tell you 3 - 7 years but they are scarred from having a "job" and not a business so it's careful who you take your advice from.
Someone with 30 years experience is often the same person who has 1 years experience, 30 times.
In this day and age, things may have changed but fundamentals are the same. Don't keep chasing the next bright and shiny object and focus on what your ultimate goal is...and how you want to live. THen create a business system that allows you to have enough cashflow to fund your lifestyle. Get your business right and then you can do whatever you want!

Most business owners don't make a profit for at least the first year and some figure at least three years to recover economically from start-up costs. Smart business owners will generally start small and invest only when they know their product or service is going to be successful economically and generate a profit from the very start.

My first business started to turn a profit after about 2 years but ultimately failed. Be sure you have a good business plan and adequate financing.

That's got to depend on what business you're in and how successful you are. I started in March and am still nowhere near covering costs, but it's a high-profit field and I'm optimistic.

After I sold the first 5 eighths I was ahead - from there I could either smoke the profit - or - keep selling it.

If you've found a good niche, then you should see money within a couple months.
I made money within the first 2 days.
Find a good niche.. and you'll find good money.
