Numbers 1 to 9 in business
Nine digits are the vocabulary. The same digit means one thing as a founder's driver and another as a company name, and the Vedic attribution gives 4 to Rahu and 7 to Ketu rather than the Uranus and Neptune of the Western books.

Questions founders ask
Which number is best for a business?
There is no ranking of the nine. Chaldean numerology matches the number to the founder and the sector; the only standing rule is that 2, 4 and 8 are cautioned as name digits outside the sectors that favour them.
What is the difference between a birth number and a name number?
The birth numbers come from the date and cannot change. The name number comes from the letters and is the only core number a founder can move.
Do I read the founder or the company?
Both, separately. A number can suit a founder and be wrong for the company name at the same time, and the sector map is applied after the founder's numbers.
