单项选择题

It"s time to stop complaining. The economy might be melting down like butter in a hot pot, but for some people — you, maybe — this could be a very good thing.
Here"s why. At no other time in recent history has it been easier or cheaper to start a new kind of company. Possibly a very profitable company. Let"s call these start-ups LILOs, for "a little in, a lot out." These are Web-based businesses that cost almost nothing to get off the ground yet can turn into great moneymakers.
How do you get started All that"s required is a great idea for a product that will fill a need in the 21st century. These days you"d do best if your idea either makes people money or saves them money. And launching now will make your company stronger later — you"ll learn to survive on fumes until the economy improves.
That"s what John Tayman is doing. He"s an author who lives in San Francisco, where I met him; he wrote reviews for a business magazine I edited. Tayman knew little about technology and even less about business. And yet he dreamed of a website that would summarize car reviews from other sources and rank every model of new car. "It"ll be like RottenTomatoes.com meets Kelley Blue Book," he explained to me during lunch one day last June. Tayman said he intended to build the site on the side while continuing to write for a living. He"d work on his new company only at night and on weekends. Oh, yes, and he had only about $10,000. "Good luck with that!" I thought. Ideas are much easier to produce than they are to execute.
Tayman went to work with nothing more than his PowerBook laptop. A very well-organized fellow, he quickly discovered a bunch of free stuff online — instructional manuals and sites that walk you through the process from start to finish. Within months, Tayman had a virtual staff of 20 employees working for him in five different countries. MotorMouths.com went live in January. Tayman figures he has worked about 10 hours a week on it and hasn"t spent a cent on marketing or advertising. Growth is modest but steady: nearly 10,000 people visit each week.What is essential to start your business according to the passage

A．Low-cost products used to be trade.
B．A good idea helping people make or save money,
C．Starting the business as early as possible.
D．Practical products with good quality.
