Hello,

Good question and a bit tricky..

You may need to access the financial aspect, liquidity ratios etc.. how long the business could sustain without having to go to work. Some business can make money in 2-3 months, some 6 months and some take more than a year. it really depends on the nature of business and readiness of your company to compete in the market.

Before that.. you may want to do feasibility study or at least study business cases as reference to finalize business plan, revenue model, marketing strategy and financial projection

The above exercises could help you to comfortably forecast, whether you need to work or not.. to support the business.

Hope this helps
