Chris M asked:


I want to start a business by putting candy machines in different businesses. I was just wondering do I need some kind of business license to do this. Also if it’s any help I want to do this in Texas.

I would like to start a business and am in need of some ideas for writing my business plan, then I will be looking for investors? I seen a business in Chesterfield, MO and it was called Petropolis. It was a “hotel” for small animals, cats and dogs mostly. I would like to open something similar to this. Also, what are some good ways of finding out if this would go over well in the area I am looking into? Can you send out a survey to the area asking specific questions? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Are we currently in a downturn or recovery state as compared to six months ago? When I say Business cycle, I mean overall Business cycle.

Last year we sent out candy jars with our logo on them and filled with peppermint candy. I really do not want to stay with the same theme but I am stumped for another low cost gift idea for our business customers. Any ideas?

I’m currently attending college and taking science classes, because I was thinking about majoring in Biology. But, now I’m thinking about seeking a degree in business instead. It’s just that I really don’t know the difference between a degree in business administration, business management, and etc. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

During my wedding planning, I have had a hard time finding exactly what I have been looking for, whether the items were too highly priced or just not the style or look that I had envisioned.

Very frustrating…

SO, I decided to make some of the items for our wedding and it is all turning out great!

I am thinking about starting my own business making wedding items for a low price. This business would offer hand-made, creative, personalized items for your wedding, such as guest books, pen holders, ring pillows, flower girl baskets, and other items that are personalized expecially for your wedding with your wedding colors and style in mind.

You would be able to see samples of all of the different items and choose from a wide variety of colors, styles, and looks.

I am just curious to see if there would be enough interest in this type of business before I get started. I will be posting on several websites.

Thanks in advance for your opinion!
Happy Wedding Planning!

Umbie asked:


I am a high school sophomore right now and I want to major in business in college.
What is the difference between business math and statistics? Which one should I take? What are the benefits of taking both? (Note: I do not really have time to take both of them, but I will give up a science credit if it is really necessary to take both)
Are there any other classes that I should consider on taking (sociology for example)?

Also, what is a good college to go to? Top business schools?

I am planning to start software development business in India but I don’t want to register my business as a company. I won’t be having a office set up to do business. The business will be done at home. To do such a business do I need to register my business as a company with the government?
