Risk: High

1 – Extremely Risky High chance of losing money/time I’d rate the risk a 1 out of 5 because starting as an event decorator from scratch involves significant upfront costs for materials, marketing, and potentially training. Beginners often spend money on supplies and advertising without securing clients, leading to financial losses. The time and energy invested in building a portfolio and client base can be substantial, and if the business doesn't take off, it can result in lost confidence. Many online accounts highlight the challenges of breaking into the market and the difficulty of standing out, which can lead to financial and emotional setbacks.
