Problem: No smart businessperson begins writing a memo before collecting and analyzing the necessary information
I revised it to: No smart businessperson would begin writing a memo before collecting and analyzing the necessary information.
It turned out to be wrong.
Shouldn't it be would begin?

I see nothing wrong with your revision: it is grammatical and conveys the same information!
