Business Information and Help

Miss Ella asked:


I have been working on a business plan for the past few years and I’m finally getting close to having the perfect plan to open my own clothing store, and I know it will be huge in my city because there’s nothing like it and it also benefits the art community as well.

Here’s the catch. I have no real savings to put in it, and don’t want to take out a loan. Where can I find the right investors, and how do you pitch your business plan to them so they see the greatness of your idea?

ANY suggestions would be helpful.

This loan program is a “pilot” meaning that the number of loans that can be made are limited a percentage of the total SBA loans approved. My business assists small business owners and this is an excellent program to get credit to business owners but it doesn’t have a champion!

Can anybody tell me what typical costs are? what’s good? what’s bad?

If a small business hires either independent contractors or another business to perform work for them, what steps should that business take to make sure that the completed product is legally owned by the business and not the entities or individual employed to create that product? Pointing me to resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can think of some.

1. Demand more media attention locally and stop being so private.
2. Stop coaching.
3. Have a first round draft pick sleep in your basement.

Others?

I’m not really sure where to start. Any ideas from people who have started their own business. What it will cost me? I know I can start small doing a few homes myself, and then add employees and more clients. But what are the basics? Do I need insurance? What all do I need? Any tips would be appreciated!
Thank You in Advance!

I’m hoping to open a decorating service business where I rearrange people’s furniture, and am wondering how service oriented businesses such as cleaning businesses, vacuuming businesses, and even home computer repair specialists operate. What do I need besides a business license? I’ve already got a lot of my business plan done.
