You've got a few things to combine here, according to your comments.
You need to learn to fly, and you want to start a business. Learning to fly takes time. Sure, you can pull it out of the box and fly it around with no experience, and likely land again. But, you need to learn to fly it and be able to handle any curves that are thrown at you. Think about your child learning to drive. They can get down the block, but what happens when the unexpected comes along? You need to do a lot of flying to get competent and able to handle things on the fly without getting lost trying to figure out how. That's the first challenge.
Second, you need to have a reliable drone if you're going to run a business with it. You can start small, but until you get to the higher priced professional models, the reliability will be lacking, as will the flexability to use different cameras, etc. You want to know it is going to be there when it is needed for that crucial shot that only comes along when the light is right, etc. You need to get in lots of flying with the equipment you'll be using for the business, so you can operate it competently and know how to handle situations (back to that basic flying again). Each bird will have little quirks, so it will be a bit like jumping from one airplane to another. In an airplane, you need to be checked out in what you'll be flying. If you jump from a 172 to a 182, you'll need to become familiar with and get hours in the 182 before you venture off on a big excursion.
Get the picture? Also, what do you know about photography? If experienced, great. If not, more learning process to go through.
