I think that depends a lot on the topic and how it relates to your business.

Do you want to blog to promote an existing business or do you want to blog as part of a new business?

If you think you have time and the resources to create something which attracts enough of an audience to make it worth the effort, then go for it!

I wana start it to promote existing business for one of my client.

General Blogs will help ? Business is related to web development , Web Design Services....etc

I wouldn't go for a general blog, I would create a blog based very closely on the niche in which your client operates.

Of course, web design and development is one of the most competitive niches on the web.

If you're after a general crowd -- that takes serious interest in knowing what you eat for lunch.

I'd say its worthwhile. But as mentioned above, go for a blog that is linked to the theme of the business you are trying to promote. Blogs attract a different kind of surfer, usually other bloggers so you might be able to convert one or 2 of those to sign up/buy products/services from the other site.
